Title: Checklists to Support Test Charter Design in Exploratory Testing,
Abstract: During exploratory testing sessions the tester simultaneously learns, designs
and executes tests. The activity is iterative and utilizes the skills of the
tester and provides flexibility and creativity.Test charters are used as a
vehicle to support the testers during the testing. The aim of this study is to
support practitioners in the design of test charters through checklists. We
aimed to identify factors allowing practitioners to critically reflect on their
designs and contents of test charters to support practitioners in making
informed decisions of what to include in test charters. The factors and
contents have been elicited through interviews. Overall, 30 factors and 35
content elements have been elicited.
