  Survival of IT industries depends much upon the development of high quality
and customer satisfied software products. Quality however can be viewed from
various perspectives such as deployment of the products within estimated
resources, constrains and also being defect free. Testing is one of the
promising techniques ever since the inception of software in the global market.
Though there are several testing techniques existing, the most widely accepted
is the conventional scripted testing. Despite of advancement in the technology,
achieving defect free deliverables is yet a challenge. This paper therefore
aims to enhance the existing testing techniques in order to achieve nearly zero
defect products through the combined approach of scripted and exploratory
testing. This approach thus enables the testing team to capture maximum defects
and thereby reduce the expensive nature of overheads. Further, it leads towards
generation of high quality products and assures the continued customer
satisfaction.
