4.2The Session Report Template

Every exploratory session should produce a report. Keep it lightweight — the goal is to capture observations in real time, not write a polished document afterward.

Charter:    Explore file upload with edge-case formats (.svg, .webp, 0-byte files)
Tester:     Jane D.
Duration:   60 min
Start:      2024-03-15 14:00
Environment: Staging (build #4521), Chrome 122, macOS 14.3

AREAS COVERED:
- Upload .svg (accepted, renders in preview)
- Upload .webp (accepted, but thumbnail generation fails silently)
- Upload 0-byte .txt (accepted, but download link returns 500)
- Upload .gif animated (accepted, preview shows first frame only)
- Upload file with Unicode filename (accepted, filename truncated in UI)

BUGS FOUND:
- BUG: 0-byte file upload succeeds but download endpoint crashes (severity: high)
- BUG: .webp thumbnail silently missing — no error to user (severity: medium)
- BUG: Unicode filename truncated without notification (severity: low)

QUESTIONS / RISKS:
- What is the maximum file count per upload batch? No documentation found.
- Is there server-side virus scanning? Could not confirm.
- Does the CDN cache handle .webp files correctly?

FOLLOW-UP CHARTERS:
- Explore bulk upload (10+ files simultaneously) to discover performance issues
- Explore upload with slow/interrupted network to discover retry behavior
