Aspect: Identify Exploratory Tests

The Identify Exploratory Tests aspect of the performance testing lifecycle is the phase where unplanned tests are researched to detect and exploit performance issues to aid in the tuning effort. To be effective, these tests must be researched collaboratively with the technical stakeholders who have intimate knowledge of the area of the system exhibiting performance issues. The results of this research leads the project back into the Develop Test Assets aspect where exploratory tests are created and documented.
