# Exploratory Tests

> Let the agent freely explore your site to discover edge cases and unexpected behaviours

Perfect for discovering edge cases and unexpected behaviours. You set the boundaries and the agent explores within them.

## Examples

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="shield-halved" title="Security Exploration">
    Combine a persona with free-form exploration to surface vulnerabilities.

    ```text theme={null}
    You're a skilled white-hat hacker with a deep understanding of web
    technologies, authentication flows, and common vulnerabilities like XSS,
    SQL injection, and CSRF. You methodically test websites for flaws in
    logic, configuration, and code, using tools and manual techniques to
    uncover hidden risks. With a strong grasp of HTTP, JavaScript, and browser
    behavior, you think like an attacker but act to protect, helping
    developers patch weaknesses before they become threats. Continuously
    scroll through and act as you would, trying to break and find any
    vulnerabilities. Note any issues, and continue to do so for a while.
    Scroll if it seems clicking something doesn't do anything.
    ```

    Using a persona, give the agent free rein to explore your site and achieve its goal. In this example, the agent tries to find security vulnerabilities.

## Tips

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Exploration Boundaries">
    Define exploration boundaries to guide the agent's testing scope.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Continuous Navigation">
    Give the agent actions that keep it moving through the site. Include sentences like "Click on anything you find interesting".
