Ad hoc testing vs exploratory testing

In the software testing arena a commonly asked question is whether Exploratory testing is same as the Ad Hoc Testing? They do have some overlap which causes confusion, but in reality they are quite different. Both provide the freedom to the test engineer to explore the application and the primary focus is to find critical defects in the system. They also help in providing better test coverage, as all scenarios are extremely time consuming and costly to document as test cases.<br><br>If you want to know the difference between test case based testing approach ad hoc testing vs exploratory testing clic

  1. Ad hoc testing vs exploratory testing www.webomates.com Exploratory Testing Exploratory testing is a formal approach of testing that involves simultaneous learning, test schematizing, and test execution. The testers explore the application and learn about its functionalities by discovery and learning method. They then, use exploratory test charters to direct, record and keep track of the exploratory test session’s observations. It is a hands- on procedure in which testers perform minimum planning and maximum test exploration. Webomates has also done extensive research on how to high jump to high quality using exploratory and detailed analysis can be found in the article written by Aseem Bakshi, Webomates CEO. www.webomates.com Page 1

  2. Ad hoc testing vs exploratory testing www.webomates.com Ad Hoc Testing Ad Hoc Testing is an informal and random style of testing performed by testers who are well aware of the functioning of software. It is also referred to as Random Testing or Monkey Testing. Tester may refer existing test cases and pick some randomly to test the application. The testing steps and the scenarios depend on the tester, and defects are found by random checking. www.webomates.com Page 2
