A system and method for monitoring exploratory testing by a plurality of testers of software containing a graphical user interface is disclosed. The method includes recording interactions of each of the plurality of testers with a graphical user interface (GUI) under test. The recorded interactions of each tester can be stored in an interaction database. An interaction footprint map is created from the interaction database to show which portions of the GUI under test have had interaction with at least one of the testers. The interaction footprint map is displayed in relation to the GUI for at least one end user.
