Adhco testing in Software testing

Adhoc testing is a type of black box testing which is carried out without following any formal process i.e without SRS, Test plan or test cases. Adhoc testing is normally done once the formal test cases are run and testing is completed formally. There are 2 types of Adhoc testing

1. Paired Testing
2. Monkey Testing

Paired testing is type of adhoc testing where two qc's are assigned to test the same project and the goal of the qc's is to find maximum number of defect such that the test coverage is complete. Once the testing is completed both the qc are required to share their observation. Sometimes a qc is paired with the developer to perform adhoc testing which is proved to be a best adhoc type of testing as the developer will also be able to understand how a qc thinks out of the box. But normally it is not advisable if the project is working under scrum.

Monkey testing is done by performing unusual scenarios in order to break the code. Example: Continuously tapping on button, performing immediate sequence, adding inappropriate data as a value.
