#4 PractiTest

PractiTest Test Management Tool includes a new type of test that supports Exploratory and Session-Based Testing practices. This feature helps you to improve QA coverage and traceability.

Exploratory tests in PractiTest allow you to define charters & guide points for your exploratory sessions and save those guidelines as test cases for future reusability. Additionally, it allows you to document the points that arise in the annotation section as you are running your tests, report, and link existing issues when running the exploratory testing test cases. Finally, you can create reports based on your sessions and later review them with your colleagues and your team lead in order to gather feedback.
