When a software testing performed without proper planning and documentation, it is said to be Adhoc Testing. Such kind of tests are executed only once unless we uncover the defects.
Adhoc
Tests are done after formal testing is performed on the application.
Adhoc methods are the least formal type of testing as it is NOT a
structured approach. Hence, defects found using this method are hard to
replicate as there are no test cases aligned for those scenarios.
Testing
is carried out with the knowledge of the tester about the application
and the tester tests randomly without following the
specifications/requirements. Hence the success of Adhoc testing depends
upon the capability of the tester, who carries out the test. The tester
has to find defects without any proper planning and documentation,
solely based on tester's intuition.
When to Execute Adhoc Testing ?
Adhoc
testing can be performed when there is limited time to do exhaustive
testing and usually performed after the formal test execution. Adhoc
testing will be effective only if the tester has in-depth understanding
about the System Under Test.
