What is an Exploratory Test Charter?

An Exploratory Test Charter is a guide or agenda for a testing session. It doesn’t give step-by-step instructions but outlines:

• The scope (what to test).

• The goal (what to find or validate).

• The focus areas (risks, features, or behaviors).

👉 In simple words: It’s like a map for your testing journey, telling you where to explore and what to pay attention to.
