Ad-Hoc Testing

Ad-Hoc Testing is the testing type which is performed without any proper procedure and without any Requirement Specification. Ad-Hoc testing is totally informal testing which have intension to break the application as early as possible and found important defect early.  In Ad-hoc testing tester do not have any test cases so only the users who have very high knowledge regarding the application only they can perform Ad-Hoc Testing.

In Ad-Hoc testing important defect found very quickly so this type of testing is also have importance. Also when our application is on deadline and team do not have enough time to test the application with proper documentation and test cases, Ad-Hoc testing is useful in that case. Ad-Hoc Testing will be effective only when tester have in depth knowledge about the application.

The bugs that are found during Ad-Hoc Testing are very difficult to reproduce because we do not have any proper test cases to reproduce that bug.

Ad-Hoc Testing Type
  • Buddy Testing: In Buddy Testing, 2 members test the application together. In 2 members one from development team and other from Testing Team. They start testing together so for both it is good to develop the proper Test Cases and it is good to developer to fix the design issue earlier. This type of testing start after completion of Unit Testing.
  • Pair Testing: In Pair Testing, 2 testers work on same machine to find out defects. Both can share ideas. One Tester will execute the Test Cases and other will write the records of finding issues.
  • Monkey Testing: In Monkey Testing, Test the application without any goal. As name applies like Monkey moves tree randomly. No one know on which tree Monkey will move. The testing is like same. Tester test the application randomly without any proper guild line.

Smoke Testing

In Smoke Testing, Testing team check the key feature or key bugs of the software. Smoke testing ensure that critical functionality of the software is working fine.If key features are not working then it is no needed to test the overall functionality because it is just waste of time. In Smoke Testing, test team check the basic feature of the software and if basic feature is not working it means software is broken very badly and further testing is unnecessary. If Smoke Testing failed then it is declared that build is unstable and revert back to developer team until smoke test is pass.
