Exploratory testing is an experience-based test technique

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Exploratory testing is an experience-based test technique where testers actively engage with the software, learning about its behavior while simultaneously designing and executing tests. According to the ISTQB CTFL syllabus, exploratory testing can be structured into sessions guided by test charters, which outline the test objectives and provide direction for the testers' exploration. This method is particularly useful in situations where test documentation is limited or where rapid feedback is needed. Thus, option B correctly describes how exploratory testing can be organized.

I recall a question about testing combinations, but that seemed more like a structured approach, which doesn't fit exploratory testing.

I think exploratory testing is more about the tester's intuition and experience rather than just following a strict process.
