My business partner @simon_tomes and I are developing a tool just for exploratory testers, TestBuddy. You can sign up there and try it out right away.
There are very few tools dedicated to Exploratory Testers right now and we’ve found none that capture and guide a Session-Based Test Management approach. So we’re building one! We want to find the right balance of letting testers focus on note-taking whilst making their lives easier debriefing, looking back over past sessions, searching for information, understanding where time was spent and analysing trends.
Right now TestBuddy gives you:
- A summarised view of all of your sessions
- A status identifying the current state of a particular session
- The ability to add timestamped notes to a session
- Easy formatting using markdown
- Keyboard shortcuts for important session actions
- The ability to add images and animated gifs (via button, drag & drop or copy & paste)
- The ability to label notes/images (the classic PQIP labels: problem, question, idea, praise)
- The ability to filter sessions by labels
If you’d like to help us please get in touch, sign up or reply here. Thanks!
