How can test execution tools be of most benefit during exploratory testing?

1. A. They can record user actions so that defects are easier to recreate.
2. B. They can be used to perform the regression aspects of exploratory testing.
3. C. They can help to mitigate the risk of low test coverage.
4. D. They can use data-driven tests to increase the amount of exploratory testing performed.

Correct Answer: A
Exploratory testing is used when it is unclear what the system is supposed to do. Therefore test execution tools are of little use because expected results cannot be predicted.
However, the record feature of a test execution tool can be used to log the actions performed so that defects can be recreated (option (A)) and rectified more easily.
