exploratory-charterlisted

Write, run, and debrief exploratory testing charters against Katalon True Platform/TestOps when there is no script to follow. Use when you need to turn a vague area into a charter (mission, areas, oracles, timebox), run a timeboxed unscripted session, log what you find as session notes, judge which findings are real defects, and promote what was learned into atomic manual cases plus the folder or suite that holds them. This is unscripted discovery and the debrief after it; when a written requirement is already in hand and the job is designing cases from it, use create-test-cases instead. Written for the manual tester who has an hour, a feature, and no cases to run against it.

# Katalon Exploratory Charter Use this skill for the **unscripted** part of the design stage: a timeboxed session that learns something the written requirement does not say, then converts what it learned into scripted coverage. A charter is not a test case and a session is not a test run. The value is the *learning plus the promotion*, so a session that produces no notes and no promoted cases has failed even if nothing crashed. Treat the human as a tool. Ask when the area, the timebox, the environment, or the risk appetite cannot be resolved safely. Never invent an oracle. ## Availability Boundary **There is no exploratory session object in the platform.** Say that before promising to "run a session in Katalon". - **Available via MCP:** resolve scope (`list_projects`, `list_repositories`), read the oracles you already have (`find_requirements`, `read_requirement`, `fetch_requirement_data`), check whether an area is already covered before spending the timebox on it (`find_test_cases`, `find_test_cases_by_requirement`), and land the outcome (`manage_test_folder`, `create_test_case`, `link_requirements_to_test_case`, `manage_test_suite`, `read_test_suite`). - **Not available, and no workaround exists:** a charter / session / session-sheet entity, a session timer or duration field, attachment upload for screenshots or video or HAR files, a tool that sets a manual test result to failed, custom fields or tags to mark a case as exploratory in origin, and creating a requirement
