   A test team is under pressure to test a new mobile app with limited time. The test lead proposes using exploratory testing with session-based testing to maximize coverage. However, a senior tester argues that checklist-based testing would be more efficient. Which factor most strongly supports the use of exploratory testing in this scenario?

   • AThe team has a large number of testers available for parallel testing.
   • BThe app is a minor update to an existing app with well-known functionality.
   • CThe team has a detailed requirements document that can be used to create a comprehensive checklist.
   • DThe app is new and has no prior test history, so exploratory testing can quickly learn and adapt.

   A mobile app tester is about to test a banking app that allows users to transfer money between accounts. Based on past experience, the tester knows that such apps often fail when users rapidly tap the 'Transfer' button multiple times, causing duplicate transactions. Which experience-based technique is the tester applying by deliberately performing rapid double-taps on the transfer button?

   • AExploratory testing
   • BError guessing
   • CChecklist-based testing
   • DHeuristic-based testing

   • BTests are designed solely from the requirements document.
   • CIt is only applicable to regression testing.
   • DThe tester's knowledge of typical failures and past experience guides the testing.

   While testing a mobile game, a tester uses the heuristic 'same action, different result' to explore what happens when the user taps the same button in different contexts, such as during an animation or after a purchase. This leads to the discovery of a bug where the button becomes unresponsive after a purchase. Which technique is the tester primarily using?

   • AExploratory testing
   • BChecklist-based testing
   • CHeuristic-based testing
   • DError guessing
