Boundary testing is too often discussed, taught and practiced as an overly simplistic idea: The designer tells you a boundary, and you test one above and one below that boundary. Sound familiar? To exploratory testing pioneer James Bach, that just sounds like weak testing. Boundary testing, when approached in an exploratory way, becomes much more powerful and more worthy of a skilled tester’s best efforts. Listen to Bach explain why testers need to rewrite the boundaries of traditional boundary testing to improve the outcome of this essential testing practice.

James Bach is a pioneer in the discipline of exploratory software testing and a founding member of the Context-Driven School of Testing. He’s a co-author of "Lessons Learned in Software Testing: A Context-Driven Approach" and the author of "How I Learn Stuff: Secrets of a Buccaneer-Scholar.”
