Exploratory Test Charter

An Exploratory Test Charter is a focused plan or mission for a testing session that guides testers on what features or areas to examine. Instead of following a strict checklist, testers explore the software more freely, using the charter to focus their attention. It helps organize testing efforts, ensures relevant parts are checked, and encourages discovering issues through investigation and creativity. Think of it as a map that directs exploration rather than a detailed itinerary, making the testing more efficient and insightful.
