Description: Ad-hoc testing is an informal and unstructured approach to software evaluation. Unlike formal testing, which follows a detailed and documented test plan, ad-hoc testing is conducted without a predefined scheme. This type of testing relies on the intuition and experience of the tester, who freely explores the software to identify defects or unexpected behaviors. Ad-hoc testing is particularly useful in various software development environments, where flexibility and speed are essential. This approach allows testers to quickly adapt to changes in the software and focus on areas that may not be covered by more formal tests. Although lacking the rigor of other methods, ad-hoc testing can be effective in uncovering errors that might be overlooked in more structured testing, as it encourages creative exploration and critical analysis of the system in question.
