Software Quality Testing Planning, define and execution of test is very easily done by us, but what about Ad Hoc testing? Is it effective? Ad-hoc testing is type of testing which being done without proper procedure and planning. Ad-hoc testing is not properly organized and structured. It is performed extemporize and based on the intuition and experience of the tester. The main motive of this testing is intended for finding the bugs which are not being encountered in a regular or structured flow .Ad-hoc testing is generally performed when tester has less time to do proper testing. Missing scenarios and flaws in test strategy can be caught or uncovered by performing ad-hoc testing. The issues which might be missed in regular testing cycles can be discovered in ad-hoc testing. Ad-hoc testing can be effective in increase the code coverage. The major benefits of ad-hoc testing are mentioned below 1: No document, test plan and test cases are required. 2: Escaped bugs can be finding and help us in correcting our test strategy. 3: Easy going and less formal. 4: Required less time and efforts in completion 5: Help in covering the completeness of the testing.
