Monkey Testing is very much similiar to Ad-Hoc Testing, but has very thin line in Ad-Hoc we test the application with out any functional knowledge and documents where as in Monkey testing we have a minimum knowledge on the application for ex. we we click on any link we know where it takes.

The tester don't what he is testing in the intial stages of the testting process.He simply takes the applications and tests for the functionality of the application.

Its also called the branch to branch testing.

Monkey Tesing or gorilla testing is very similar to Ad-hoc testing, so while testing there is no-document or specification required. testing is done randomly for its working.

In some situations its not possible to conduct the complete testing.In this cases we r going to cover main functionalitis and we wil skip cosmotec functionalities.We can decide thru Coverage Analysis.i.e,

Which functionalities are visible to the end-user,which functionalities are dealing with money or budget.So This is what about monkey testing

monkey testing is nothing but ad-hoc testing.ad-hoc testing  involves improper planning,when  deadlines are to be met,and is usually done by experienced  testers who have a good knowledge about the domain  and functionality and able to concentrate on key areas where the test cases usually fails. there is no written document or a test plan for ad-hoc testing.it is also known as guerilla testing.

Hi,

Adhoc, Monkey, Clean Pass,  Exploitory testings are appearing to be same. Depends on the companies the names will be change. The main difference between Adhoc/ Clean pass and Monkey/Exploitory testings is : In the Adhoc/clean pass testing basing on the knowledge of application, without any test cases, basing on past experience we will do the testing.

In the Monkey/Exploitory testing we haven't any knowledge about the application, without test cases and with or without experience we will do the testing. 

Thanks,

ramesh

Monkey testing is the testing to ensure that if you randomly press the keys,(i.e) wrong data , the application should not hang.for ex: if u give the keyboard to the monkey it will randomly press the keys.

Likethat, if we give wrong inputs software should not get corrupted or hang.

Gorilla Testing is one of the random testing methodologies. Gorilla tesing is tesing a particular module or functionality thoroughly. One of the examples of random testing tool is fuzz  which can be used to generate and send stream of random/valid keyboard and mouse events to a Windows application.
