It seems now that the difference between monkey testing and
gorilla testing is clear.
I want to clarify another conception: although both monkey
testing and gorilla testing comes from ad hoc testing, they
are different from ad hoc testing and also random testing.
The following definitions from ISTQB glossary give a good
description:
ad hoc testing(emphasizing testing process): Testing
carried out informally; no formal test preparation takes
place, no recognized test design technique is used, there
are no expectations for results and arbitrariness guides
the test execution activity.
random testing (emphasizing testing technique or test
design) : A black box test design technique where test
cases are selected, possibly using a pseudo-random
generation algorithm, to match an operational profile. This
technique can be used for testing non-functional attributes
such as reliability and performance.
monkey testing(emphasizing testing behaviour): Testing by
means of a random selection from a large range of inputs
and by randomly pushing buttons, ignorant on how the
product is being used.

Answer / sourav samanta
Monkey testing is testing like a monkey(that is lightly with
main functionality and without maintaining the
order/sequences).It is used to save time and to test basic
funtion is fine or not in a app.
But gorrila testing is used for heavily testing with a main
functionality and tested it heavily in the application.
It may possible that after monkey there some major defect
but after gorrila testing there should not be any major defect.
Let me know if you have any doubt.

Answer / nitin sachan
In Monkey testing we perform testing randomly it is not
required to check each and every function
In Gorilla testing We perform testing heavily means each and
every aspect we perform after this testing chances of bug is
very less

Answer / dipika
monkey testin g is not a adhoc testing bcoz for the adhoc
testing one shoul have strong knowledge about application
which is not necessary for monkey testing.
monkey testing is a unit testing that runs with no specific
test in mind it is a random testing.

Hi
Monkey testing is simply testing a module or application
randomly with out going through the complete knowledge abut
the module or application
Gorilla Testing is going deeply to a module to find defects
unlike the monkey testing.

Answer / sharmi
gorilla testing is testing a function or module heavily.
there ll not be any defect to the application after this
testing.

Rathnam ..........i guess thats a wrong answer.
If u think that i am worng then plz provide me the

Answer / satyaprasad
vidhya ratnam is correct,actually as u said monkey or
gorilla testing comes under the catagory of Adhoc
testing,due to lack of time testers will test the main
functionalities of the application ,this is called monkey
or gorilla testing
this is satya,any doubts contact:9912418320

2)The prototype model is chosen on what grounds? A)During information engineering phase when all the requirements are clear and there is no space for any confusion. B)When the requirements are well understood and there is a need for developers to create a fully functional system within a very short time period. C)During information engineering phase when only generalized objectives of the software are defined and it is not possible to define detailed inputs, business rules and output requirements. D)when the focus should be given on the delivery of an operational product with each increment, where each increment is a spiral model.
