Hi Jürgen,
I would document the session in a hand-written notebook (each pagedated and numbered) and, if needed, take photographs instead ofvideo. If you ever needed to present this data in a court of law thejury tends to associate better with the above formats.
That being said, if presenting to a client, you would probably want topresent a formal document based on your notes taken at the time of thetesting.
Hope this helps.
