Ad hoc Testing
Ad hoc testing refers to a spontaneous and informal approach to software testing that is performed without any specific test cases or predefined test plans. It involves exploring the application's functionality in an unstructured manner in order to uncover defects and issues that may not be easily detected through traditional testing methods. Ad hoc testing is typically carried out by experienced testers who rely on their intuition, creativity, and domain knowledge to identify potential problems in the software. This type of testing is often used to complement more formal testing processes and can help uncover critical bugs that may have been overlooked during the development cycle.
