    Re: Exploratory testing & Ad-hoc Testing

    Exploratory testing is a kind of Ad-hoc testing techniques.

    Ad-hoc testing techniques could be Monkey Testing, Exploratory Testing, Pair Testing etc. that are followed when the testing team has no complete knowledge of the s/w under development.

    It is a risky and unethical practice.

    Lack of WILL POWER has caused more failure than
    lack of INTELLIGENCE or ABILITY.

    Re: Exploratory testing & Ad-hoc Testing

    Ad-Hoc Testing is a part of Exploratory Testing. Ad-Hoc Testing is most often used as a complement to other Types of Testing.

    Exploratory Testing is simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution.

    Exploratory testing - often taken to mean a creative, informal software test that is not based on formal test plans or test cases; testers may be learning the software as they test it.

    Ad-hoc testing - similar to exploratory testing, but often taken to mean that the testers have significant understanding of the software before testing it.
