Look inside
Software testers and developers value feedback from real users, but it’s hard to come by until an application is released. A “bug bash” is a time-boxed exploratory testing event designed to find errors, integration issues, and usability problems before a major release. Because a bug bash invites a diverse range of roles and perspectives outside the IT team, it can uncover flaws a structured traditional QA process might miss. And if you do it right, a bug bash is both highly productive and a lot of fun!
Bug Bash: Exploratory software testing shows you how to run a time-boxed testing event with participants from across an organization. In this practical guide, you’ll learn how to recruit the right players, structure the event, and adopt the “game master” skills to keep your bug bash on track. You’ll go step by step through every phase, from getting leadership and dev team buy-in to the post-bash triage and fixes.
