what is the diff between ad hoc and exploratory testing ?..

Answer / sj

Exploratory Testing: Exploratory Testing can be a creative,
informal software test that is not based on formal test
plans or test cases, testers may be learning the software
as they test it.

Ad-hoc testing: Ad-hoc testing is similar to exploratory
testing, but often taken to mean that the testers have
significant understanding of the software before testing it.

Answer / josephwarnel

Exploratory software testing is a powerful and fun approach
to testing. Exploratory testing is especially useful in
complex testing situations, when little is known about the
product, or as part of preparing a set of scripted tests.
The basic rule is this: exploratorytesting is called for any
time the next test you should perform is not obvious, or
when you want to go beyond the obvious.
