Exploratory Testing interview questions — Medium

197 medium-level Exploratory Testing questions from our Manual Testing bank, each with the correct answer and an explanation of why it is correct.

What this covers

Exploratory Testing appears throughout Manual Testing interviews. At medium level, interviewers are typically checking that you have used it in practice: what you configured, what broke, and how you knew it worked. Work through these, then explain your answer out loud; the second part is what interviews actually test.
