A tester is creating a charter for an exploratory session on a new feature. The feature has many potential areas to explore, but the session is time-boxed. What is the best way to define the charter to maximize effectiveness?

Make the charter vague to allow complete freedom in exploration.

Make the charter narrow and focused on a specific risk or area of the feature.

Make the charter detailed with specific test steps to follow.

Make the charter broad to cover as many areas as possible.

Why might a tester use a visualization tool during exploratory testing?

To record the screen during the session

To generate test data for the session

To automatically execute test cases

To create mind maps or diagrams that help organize test ideas and findings
