Yes, exploratory testing can be structured using a charter to guide the session. This skill orchestrates the process by helping you generate a charter, capture defects with Given When Then clauses, and automatically produce a testing report.

You capture defects during exploratory testing by recording their severity and using Given When Then clauses for reproduction. This skill requires human input for severity decisions and defect reproduction to ensure the tester maintains authority over the process.

You can automatically generate a report from a charter-based testing session. The skill produces a comprehensive document that captures the testing charter, recorded defects, and the overall assessment for review.

Structured exploratory testing requires manual input for defect severity decisions. The skill ensures tester authority by relying on human input for severity classification and defect reproduction rather than automating these critical judgments.

You should use charter-based testing before writing documentation for a new feature. Conducting an exploratory test allows you to create a charter, capture defects, and generate a report to verify feature quality first.
