[Original] What is ad hoc testing?

"Ad hoc" is intended to be "specific, one-time". It is a test for a specific purpose. This time, in the future, we usually do not repeat the test or try to test whether there is a problem.

So not as many testers talk about the "monkey test" and mistakenly understand what ad hoc testing is. The correct test should be in the test process, the "ad hoc" test can be used to measure the completeness of the current test case, design some specific, one-time test cases to check the problems beyond the existing test cases, no problems are found, indicating that the existing test cases are relatively complete. Otherwise, they are not.
