Answer / chaitali

Negative testing is nothing but the testing with invalid data.
when we do adhoc testing at that time it is more useful.
In adhoc testing user dont know what is valid or
invalid.During such adhoc testing system should not
crash.For this purpose negative testing is done.

clear me if i m wrong.
