  • Abstract
    Exploratory software testing is an activity which can be carried out by both untrained and formally trained testers. In this paper, we propose using Human Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques to carry out a study of exploratory testing strategies used by the two groups of testers. This data will be used to make recommendations to companies with regards to the mix of skills and training required for testing teams.
