Software testing is the most important aspect of the system development. This process helps to identify the bugs, errors, faults and failures in a system which ultimately ensures the quality of system. There are several testing techniques and strategies which determines the quality of a system. Ad hoc testing technique is the free form testing technique which does not require the pre-planned documentation and test cases. This is an informal and creative software testing technique which requires the prior knowledge about the system functionality. This article focuses on the Ad hoc testing, its types, advantages, disadvantages, challenges, how to use it more effectively and when and where to use it in the testing process.
