What is Exploratory Testing? Exploratory software testing is a powerful and fun approach to testing. In some situations, it can be orders of magnitude more productive than scripted testing. I haven't found a tester yet who didn't, at least unconsciously; perform exploratory testing at one time or another. Yet few of us study this approach, and it doesn't get much respect in our field. It's high time we stop the denial, and publicly recognize the exploratory approach for what it is: scientific

examine why or why not employees might chose to adopt a program. To approach this question Boston Scientific should model their analysis off of traditional Market Research methods. The most relevant research types are: · Exploratory Research – the purpose of exploratory research is to determine if there is an opportunity for change. o Secondary data collection is an inexpensive means to better understand the scope of a problem. This might include researching and evaluating successful idea-share

detailed such as the steps to acquire participants, sampling method and the representativeness. Other researchers for card loyalty program can repeat similar research accordingly. Research design is thoroughly planned. For example, at the concept testing period, the feedbacks gathered from focus groups of existing customers is more relevant than asking the general public. Another good example is Bank One directly use observable business metrics to provide the return on marketing investment. Moreover

Exploratory research: The chief purpose of exploratory research is to reach a better understanding of the research problem. This includes helping to identify the variables which should be measured within the study. When there is little understanding of the topic it is impossible to formulate hypotheses without some exploratory studies. For example, crop residues such a straw are high in lignin (a wood-like substance) and low in nutrients. This makes them a poor animal feed since the lignin acts against

Chapter 5 5. There is an advantage to stating the hypothesis both in the null and the alternate; it adds clarity to our thinking about what we are testing. Explain. The null hypothesis is set so that the alternate hypothesis becomes testable. When the observed Z value is greater than or equal to the critical Z value for a given confidence level (usually 95 percent), then we know that we ought to accept the alternate hypothesis. If, however, the critical Z value is more than the observed Z value for

RES/351 Week 4 February 25, 2013 State which type of research design— exploratory, descriptive, or causal—is appropriate for the following examples? You also need to explain why you choose what you did, tying the example into the concept of the chosen design. Each question is worth 8 points. The correct design is worth 4 points, a clear and correct explanation (50+ words) of why you choose what you choose is worth 4 points. Show me you understand research designs. The goal of this research

1) The goal of this research is to discover the real nature of the problem and to suggest new possible solutions or new ideas. This research method would be exploratory; because when you are utilizing exploratory research you find the nature of the problem while researching to find possible solutions. 2) A food manufacturer wants to know the demographics of people who purchase organic foods. This research method would be descriptive, because the food manufacturer wants to know the specific

important research designs used in experimental hypothesis testing research study. Research design is needed because it facilitates the smooth sailing of the various research operations, thereby making research as efficient as possible yielding maximal information with minimal expenditure of effort, time and money. Different research designs can be conveniently described if we categorize them as:(1) Research design in case of exploratory research studies;(2) Research design in case of descriptive
