Augmented experiential testing (AET) is a method where software tools are used to enhance the testing experience without altering the user experience. Unlike instrumented testing, which changes how a product is used, AET aims to keep the user interaction real while providing tools that assist in testing. Examples include tools for recording test coverage, analyzing products in real-time, and taking detailed notes during the testing process. The author has created several tools for this approach, including web-testing bookmarklets, browser extensions, and monitoring utilities.
