Hi Kay,

1. When testing in a more traditional way, you plan for expected behaviour, so an emergent behaviour is the opposite. These are behaviours that make you divert from your plan.

2. How many times have you run a planned test script over and over again without finding a defect only for one to appear after the softwares gone live? I guess this has happened. So by including an exploratory phase into your plan you're more likely to find defects that would otherwise miss.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ray,
I am an agile tester and I found the aricle interesting as it reflects my working environment. I have few queries on the above:
1. Could you explain the 'emergent behaviours' in more detail?
2. How do ascertain that exploratory testing finds bugs that other approaches won't find at all

Thanks,
Kay
