// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Exploratory testing isn't "random clicking", it's simultaneous learning, test design, and execution, structured by charters and guided by heuristics.

This quiz covers session-based test management (SBTM), the SFDIPOT product-elements heuristic, and how to spend a 90-minute session where it hurts the most.

  4. D"Test the checkout page for 90 minutes"
