Adhoc Testing

•
Ad hoc Testing is an informal or unstructured software
testing type that aims to break the testing process in order
to find possible defects or errors at an early possible stage.
•
Ad hoc testing is done randomly and it is usually an
unplanned activity which does not follow any
documentation and test design techniques to create test
cases.

•
Adhoc testing can be achieved with the Software testing
technique called Error Guessing.
•
Error guessing can be done by the people having enough
experience on the system to "guess" the most likely source
of errors.
•
This testing we do when the build is in the checked
sequence, then we go for Adhoc testing by checking the
application randomly.
•
Adhoc testing is also known as Monkey testing and Gorilla
testing .

•
This testing requires no documentation/
planning /process to be followed.
•
Since this testing aims at finding defects
through random approach, without any
documentation, defects will not be mapped to
test cases.

Example1
•
In Adhoc testing, we don't follow the requirement because we
randomly check the software.
•
Our need is A?B?C?D, but while performing Adhoc testing, the
test engineer directly goes to the C and test the application as
we can see in the below image:

Example2:
•
Suppose we are using two different browsers like Google Chrome
and Mozilla Firefox and login to the Facebook application in both
the browsers.
