==Elements of
===Charter===
A charter is a goal or agenda for a test session. Charters are created by the test team prior to the start of testing, but may be added or changed at any time. Often charters are created from a [[specification]], [[test plan]], or by examining results from previous test sessions.
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
An uninterrupted period of time spent testing, ideally lasting one to two hours. Each session is focused on a charter, but testers can also explore new opportunities or issues during this time. The tester creates and executes [[test case]]s based on ideas, heuristics or whatever frameworks to guide them and records their progress. This might be through the use of written notes, video capture tools or by whatever method as deemed appropriate by the tester.
===Session
The session report records the test session. Usually this includes:
*Charter.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
* Feelings. How does the tester feel about all this?<ref>http://www.satisfice.com/articles/sbtm.pdf</ref>
===Parsing
With a standardized Session Report, software tools can be used to [[parsing|parse]] and store the results as [[aggregate data]] for reporting and metrics. This allows reporting on the number of sessions per area or a breakdown of time spent on testing, bug investigation, and setup / other activities.
==Planning==
Testers using session-based testing can adjust their testing daily to fit the needs of the project. Charters can be added or dropped over time as tests are executed and/or requirements change.
