What is error guessing?

Answer Posted / 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
