Cem Kaner coined the term "exploratory testing" many years
ago based on a type of testing used in Silicon Valley
software companies at the time he was working in the valley.
In 2006, at the Workshop on Heuristic and Exploratory
Testing, that working group arrived at the following
definition (as noted on Kaner's blog -
http://www.satisfice.com/kaner/?p=42):
"Exploratory software testing is a style of software testing
that emphasizes the personal freedom and responsibility of
the individual tester to continually optimize the value of
her work by treating test-related learning, test design,
test execution, and test result interpretation as mutually
supportive activities that run in parallel throughout the
project."
Michael Bolton, James Bach, and others have provided their
own descriptions of that definition, and none of those
opinion leaders have ever mentioned absence of
documentation, or absence of specification as critical to
exploratory testing.
