Test Cases.

domain and strong business flows knowledge.

This testing will be opted when there is no time to prepare
formal Testplan and Test Case documents.

This testing can minimise the the potential problems but
this is not efficient to find all the defects in the
application.

Answer / mudaseer

adhoc means not planned.adhoc testing is testing the application randomly.we do adhoc testing because if we do testing according to requirement the chances of catching bug is less and end user may use the application randomly and he may get a bug.so we do adhoc testing to catch bugs in the application. For example you login to gmail and logout and click on back the application wont go to inbox page.This is the example of adhoc testing.Another example of adhoc testing is when you login to gmail copy the url of the inbox page and paste it on notepad and then logout.After you logout copy the url and paste it.it wont go to inbox page.This is adhoc testing

Answer / supriyashipure

Adhoc Testing
Testing the developed application randomly by coming up with logical scenarios or illogical scenarios and checking whether the developed application as any shortcoming is called as 'Adhoc testing'

In this type of testing there is no formal documentation and the test engineer will test the application the way he want but his intent here will be somehow break the application.

Adhoc testing is a negative kind of testing and here the test engineer think out of the requirement and try to break the application.

Why test engineer does adhoc testing?
1.Possibility is there that when the application is launched into market the end user might use the application randomly and come across bugs so before the end user find set you as a test engineer should use the the application randomly and find all the bugs.
2.To increase the bug count.
3.If the test engineer check the application according to the requirement he will find limited no. of bugs .so he should test the developed application by thinking out of the requirement to find more and more bugs.
