Session Setup
exploraNote organizes your work by projects, making it easy to track progress and findings.
This initial step allows you to either create a new project or select an existing one, serving as the organizational backbone for your exploratory testing efforts. Each project within exploraNote acts as a distinct workspace, encapsulating all related testing activities, notes, and findings under a single umbrella. This approach not only simplifies the management of your testing initiatives but also enhances the ability to track progress and outcomes over time.
Upon initiating a session, you're presented with an interface that guides you through the process of setting up your testing environment. For new projects, exploraNote prompts you to enter essential details such as the project name and description, laying the groundwork for a structured testing framework. If you're returning to continue work on an existing project, the platform allows you to seamlessly pick up where you left off, with all previous notes, attachments, and project-specific settings readily accessible.
This organization by projects is instrumental in keeping your testing activities aligned with broader development goals. It enables a focused approach to testing, where each session's scope and objectives are clearly defined within the context of the project at hand.

Note-Taking
As you test, use exploraNote to record your observations, categorizing them for easy retrieval. Whether it's a bug, an insight, or a general observation, exploraNote keeps your notes organized.
The note-taking functionality stands out as a cornerstone feature designed to capture and categorize the various facets of your exploratory testing journey efficiently. At its core, this feature empowers you to document your findings in real-time, ensuring no critical observation or insight is lost in the fast-paced testing environment. As you navigate through testing scenarios, exploraNote provides a seamless interface for entering your notes, whether they pinpoint a bug, illuminate an insight, or simply record a general observation. This is facilitated through a user-friendly text input field, complemented by the option to categorize each note for streamlined organization and future retrieval.
The platform enhances this functionality with the ability to attach files directly to your notes, allowing for a richer documentation experience. Whether it's screenshots, logs, or any other form of supporting evidence, these attachments are integral to providing context and depth to your notes, making them more actionable and informative. The inclusion of categories such as "Bug," "Observation," and "Insight" further refines the process, enabling you to filter and sort your notes based on these predefined categories. This categorization not only aids in the organization of notes but also in their subsequent analysis and prioritization.
Moreover, the support for voice-to-text functionality, enables you to dictate your notes hands-free. This feature is particularly useful during intensive testing sessions where typing might disrupt the flow of exploration.
Together, these features converge to create a comprehensive note-taking solution within exploraNote, tailored to enhance the exploratory testing process by ensuring that every detail is captured, categorized, and ready for action.
