Manual and Exploratory Testing Questions

Focuses on hands on execution of tests, careful observation, and structured exploratory testing. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to execute test cases precisely, notice unexpected behavior, and form hypotheses to isolate whether an observation is a defect or a requirements misunderstanding. Topics include writing clear reproduction steps, capturing evidence such as screenshots and logs, designing exploratory sessions and test charters, using heuristics and checklists, prioritizing manual checks when automation is brittle or not feasible, and tracking coverage and reproducibility through session based techniques.
