E is for Exploring.

- Exploring allows us to contribute to a product/service in many ways. Exploring helps us evaluate and take note of what’s actually in front of us instead of what people are saying it’s supposed to be and hoping it does.
- Exploring is an important mindset and way of being for testers, QA and quality engineering professionals.
- Exploring amplifies our curiosity and curiosity helps us explore.
