  Exploratory testing is a simultaneous process of learning, test design, and execution . Unlike scripted testing, it doesn’t rely on predefined test cases. Instead, testers use their intuition, domain knowledge, and creativity to uncover defects by actively exploring the application. It’s like being a detective in the software—following clues, testing hypotheses, and adapting your strategy in real time. 🕰️ When Should You Use It? Exploratory testing is ideal when: ✅ Requirements are incomplete or evolving ✅ Time is limited for formal test case creation ✅ You need to test usability, edge cases, or real-world user behavior ✅ You want to complement automated or scripted testing with human insight Especially useful in Agile environments , early-stage prototypes , or field tools where user behavior is unpredictable. 🎯 Why Should You Use It? Uncovers hidden bugs missed by scripted tests Simulates real user b...

  A feature flag (also known as a feature toggle) is a powerful software development technique that allows developers to enable or disable specific functionality in an application without changing the code or redeploying the software. 🧠 Core Concept Feature flags act like switches embedded in your codebase. They control whether a feature is active or inactive at runtime. This lets teams test, release, or hide features dynamically. 🚀 Benefits Safe Deployments : Deploy code with features turned off, then activate them when ready. A/B Testing : Roll out features to a subset of users to gather feedback. Quick Rollbacks : If something breaks, just flip the flag off—no need to revert code. Continuous Delivery : Decouple feature releases from code deployments for smoother CI/CD pipelines. User Segmentation : Tailor experiences for different user groups. 🧩 Types of Feature Flags Type...
