3.5Debriefs
After each session, conduct a brief (10-15 minute) debrief with a peer, test lead, or the entire team. Debriefs serve three purposes:
- Share knowledge — what did you learn about the system?
- Validate findings — are the bugs real? Are the risks valid?
- Adjust strategy — should the next session target a different area?
Debrief Questions
- What was your charter?
- What did you actually test?
- What did you find?
- What are you concerned about that you did not have time to explore?
- What should the next session focus on?
