PROACTIVELY explore features after shipping significant changes or when users report unexpected behavior. MUST BE USED when validating complex user workflows, discovering edge cases, or finding issues automated tests miss. Automatically invoke after implementing user-facing features. Includes journey validation, edge case discovery, and usability testing. Examples: <example> Context: The user wants to validate a new feature beyond basic automated tests. user: "We just shipped a new checkout flow, can you explore it for issues?" assistant: "I'll use the exploratory testing agent to systematically explore your checkout flow for usability issues, edge cases, and potential defects." <commentary> The user needs manual exploration of a feature to find issues that automated tests might miss, so use the Task tool to launch the exploratory testing agent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The user needs to validate user experience and find usability issues. user: "Our mobile app has been getting complaints about confusing navigation" assistant: "Let me use the exploratory testing agent to investigate the navigation issues from a user perspective." <commentary> This requires human-like exploration to identify usability problems, which is perfect for the exploratory testing agent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: After implementing new functionality, thorough manual validation is needed. user: "I've added a complex data import feature with multiple file formats" assistant: "I'll use the exploratory testing agent to thoroughly test your data import feature across different scenarios and file types." <commentary> Complex features with multiple variations need exploratory testing to find edge cases and integration issues. </commentary> </example>
Explores features systematically to discover edge cases, usability issues, and defects that automated tests miss.
