   A test team is conducting acceptance testing for a new inventory management system. They have a set of scripted tests that cover the main workflows, but they are concerned about missing edge cases. They decide to integrate experience-based approaches with the scripted tests. Which strategy best achieves this integration?

   • AAsk developers to perform exploratory testing after the scripted tests are complete, since they know the system best.
   • BRun the scripted tests first, then use exploratory testing to probe areas not covered by the scripts, documenting any findings.
   • CReplace the scripted tests with exploratory testing to save time and rely on tester intuition.
   • DUse only checklist-based testing, as it is a form of experience-based testing that covers all necessary areas.

   After an exploratory testing session on a new mobile banking app, a tester discovered several unexpected behaviors and potential risks. The test lead wants to ensure these findings are properly communicated to stakeholders. What is the most effective way to document and report the results of the exploratory testing?

   • AAdd the findings to the scripted test results, since exploratory testing is not a separate activity.
   • BCreate a session-based test report that includes the areas explored, test notes, defects found, and risks identified.
   • COnly document the defects that were found, as risks and areas explored are not important for stakeholders.
   • DVerbally describe the findings to the project manager, since exploratory testing results are informal and do not need formal documentation.

   • DImmediately report the issue and stop testing, as the defect is confirmed.
