Session Observations

Exploratory Testing covered Spec Observations, available to any project. This page covers Session Observations — multiple testers contributing observations to the same test session — which requires a Connected project, since the built-in Exploratory session spec is only available there.

info

Multiple testers can add their observations to the same test session.

This assumes you've completed Connect a Repo and have a Hello Manual spec available (see Manual via Git if not).

Create a Session​

Create a Test Session selecting only Hello Manual.

In the New Test Session dialog:

  • Add a name for the session (e.g. build.42.0a)
  • Enable the Exploratory option
  • Add an optional description (e.g. Provide feedback on beta features)
  • Select SUBMIT

New Session

Once the Session is created a built-in Exploratory session spec will be provided.
