Answer / rajkumargholve
Usability Testing- Testing done to determine the ease with
which a software application is 1)Easy to Learn 2)Easy to
Use 3) Easy to memorise. Usability Testing also involves
testing of Aesthetic aspects of product (Look & Feel).
Usability Testing is imporant as it demotivates the user
from using an application.
Exploratory Testing- Type of testing in which the
experiance of the tester is used to anticipate what defects
might be there in the system. In this type of testing there
is less focus on documentation & more focus is on test
execution. This type of testing is done when there is no
formal Requirment Documentation exists.

Answer / antony
Usability Testing: Test the user friendliness of the
application that is the GUI of the application.
Exploratory Testing: It is an informal way of
testing,without any formal test documentations. The tester
no need to know the application under test, while testing
the tester will come to know the functionality of the
application.
