Case details

ALTER FACE is a software test heuristic I created based on my experience testing modern Web apps. The idea is to share shortcuts to testers who want to find bugs when running an exploratory testing against a Web app. I've been using this heuristic since 2020 and it still helping me to find important defects related to the UI. Now I want to share this knowledge to help other testers to improve their exploratory testing cycle.
