Abstract
Ever felt that you were lacking both the time and information you needed to do a proper job? Or rather; have you ever had complete information about the system you were going to test, and there was never a question about time? I didn’t think so. Neither have we.
The following describes a web portal with a publishing tool where little testing had been done in advance, and we were given two days of testing before the system was to go live. It was a small project, but still very interesting in nature.
This is a case study. We tell the story of how pair-based exploratory testing was tried by two rather inexperienced test managers in order to cover as much as possible of a web application where time was a commodity in short supply, and specifications where non-existing. And it worked. It really worked. So read on, and we’ll tell you all about it.
