AD-HOC Testing

What is AD-HOC Testing?
It is a process of testing the application randomly is called AD-HOC Testing
When new user uses the application in different way that is randomly not in the way,then there may be a bug. so AD-HOC Testing is done.

Why we do AD-HOC Testing?

• If Test engineers  test  the application as per the requirement, most of the times it works fine,as test engineer we should think creatively and work on few creative ideas and test the application randomly based on the creative ideas.
• If test engineers  test  the application as per the requirements it works fine ,but the end user have their own way of using the application.Test engineers should not give any scope to the end users to find the defects.so apart from testing the application as per requirements,test engineers also put themselves in the position of end users that is try to find new objects.
• Test engineers don't write the test cases for ad-hoc testing.They will write it only after getting the defect.
• Ad-hoc testing is basically negative testing.
  
  When we do AD-HOC Testing?
• Ad-hoc Testing is not done while doing smoke testing.
  After doing functional testing. Test engineers may not have catch more bugs because test engineers tested as per the requirements, Then do ad-hoc testing so that test engineers will find many bugs.
  
  How AD-HOC Is done?
• Adhoc is done randomly an application
  For eg:-pressing the esc key and sign-in button simultaneously in Log-in application.Adhoc testing is done with out formal test plan or test case creation.
