Test Coverage vs Application Coverage

An insurance policy for software quality teams

Have you ever really thoroughly tested your application? We seem to think that if we have 100% test coverage we’re done, we’re good to go. We have high confidence in the release. So why do bugs still get reported after we release? Because we didn’t test for that exact circumstance, that precise combination of the data values, that actual user flow where the bug lurked.

Application coverage is a new way to think about how well-tested an application really is. Application coverage uses Autonomous Exploratory Testing to find every possible user flow and exhaustively exercise every element on every page. Call this your ultimate quality insurance policy.
