Questions we didn’t get to

  1. Paul Naranja > Can Automation support your Exploratory testing?

  4. Simon Rigler > Would a pair or whole-scrum team ET session work?

  5. Zoltan Ertekes > How does the exploratory testing approach change regarding the level where we execute it?

  6. Lilla Kovacs > When you record, do you also narrate it?
