 Testing people have mentioned the concept of "session based testing" as a radical new approach to testing called "session based testing". The main purpose of this page is to collect a set of links aimed at helping me understand what this is.
-To quote Jonathan Bach (co-inventor?):
+> "We had this problem when doing exploratory testing for a client. We wanted to be accountable for our work. We wanted to give status reports that reflected what we actually did. We wanted to show that we could be creative, skilled explorers, yet produce a detailed map of our travels. We invented Session-Based Test Management as a way to make those intangibles more tangible. It can be thought of as structured exploratory testing, which may seem like a contradiction-in-terms, but "structure" does not mean the testing is pre-scripted. It means we have a set of expectations for what kind of work will be done and how it will be reported." -- Jonathan Bach (co-inventor)
