What is ad-hoc testing?

In ad-hoc testing, the tester randomly tests the system’s functioning in an effort to break it. It is unstructured testing that takes place without any planning and documentation. As a result, it does not involve any test case preparation, test execution strategy, and requirement specification.

Ad hoc testing has the following traits:

• It takes place after formal testing concludes.
• Its primary goal is to malfunction the program without using a predetermined procedure.
• Ad hoc testers should be knowledgeable about the product they are testing.
