I am an Exploratory Tester Rikard Edgren

I am curious about how the system works

I look at details and the whole, and at many places

I use many sources to learn what is important

I am creative and see many testing possibilities

I test in many different ways, and adjust to the situation

I am good at finding important problems fast

I am aware of models enabling and limiting my testing

I can evaluate a system from many dimensions

I can communicate my thinking and findings

I am an exploratory tester

You have covered all ethos of Exploratory Testing in such rhythmic way that anyone can grasp the concept of this pedagogy.

I’m not a robot

Thanks Dwarika.
I actually considered writing it more rythmic, like poetry, but I’m glad I dropped that idea.

Guillaume, I know you are not a robot.
