-it involves concurrently learning designing and executing tests and recording testing notes rather then specifying all tests up front before execution

-it has the purpose of uncovering information relating to risks.

Examples?

explore different types of data that could be submitted via webform.

what is the value?

empowers a tester to use their skills to discover information freely

can be structured to help keep the tester focus on specific risks

helps reveal more information that a scripted test approach wouldn't uncover as you re not biased by test case steps.
