Error Guessing comes with experience with the technology
and the project. Error Guessing is the art of guessing
where errors can be hidden. There are no specific tools
and techniques for this, but you can write test cases
depending on the situation: Either when reading the
functional documents or when you are testing and find an
error that you have not documented.

Answer / jooli
It is a black box testing technique. An experienced person
can guess the error. Sometimes there can be some hidden
errors.Without experience we can't find out it. If the
tester is an experienced guy, when the situation saw, he
can assume there is a chance to see some hidden
errors.Without experience, no one can assume like this.
If it is wrong please correct me.

Answer / uday kumar. a
Error guessing involves asking "what if". For example, the
statement might be made "the user must input a valid zip
code". What if the user enters no zip code? What if the zip
doesn't match the state? What if the zip code doesn't
exist? Etc...

Answer / sharmila juvekar
Error Guessing mainly depends on the experience of the
tester. It helps the tester to identify the error in prior,
to identify the test cases on the basis of guessed errors
in particular piece of software code.
The purpose of error guessing is to focus the testing
activity on areas that have not been handled by the other
more formal techniques, such as equivalence partitioning
and boundary value analysis. Error guessing is the process
of making an educated guess as to other types of areas to
be tested. For example, educated guesses can be based on
items such as metrics from past testing experiences, or the
tester's identification of situations in the Functional
Design Specification or Detailed Design Specification, that
are not addressed clearly
