Use Case Testing
// Definition
Testing based on user-perspective scenarios — start-to-finish flows like 'place an order' or 'reset password' — rather than isolated functions.

Test Scenario
A higher-level description of what to test — the situation or feature — without the step-by-step details. One scenario typically generates multiple test cases.
Exploratory Testing
Simultaneous learning, test design, and execution — the tester explores the app, forms hypotheses, and probes them, with no pre-scripted steps. Most effective when time-boxed and chartered.
State Transition Testing
A testing technique that models a system as states and the transitions between them, ensuring every legal transition is exercised and illegal ones are blocked.
