Q88 / 100
In exploratory testing, what is the significance of "tacit knowledge" and why is it hard to fully replace with automation?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) Tacit knowledge refers to a tester's intuition and experience-based judgment about where defects are likely to hide, which is difficult to encode explicitly into automated scripts
A
Correct Answer
Tacit knowledge refers to a tester's intuition and experience-based judgment about where defects are likely to hide, which is difficult to encode explicitly into automated scripts
Explanation
Experienced testers often "sense" risky areas based on patterns they've seen before; this intuition is valuable but resists being fully captured as deterministic rules in automated tests.
