There are possibilities where you would have come across the term exploratory testing when looking up ad-hoc testing. This is due to a belief that both are the same. However, this is untrue. The list of distinctions between the two terminologies is given belows.
Adhoc Testing | Exploratory Testing |
---|---|
Before beginning the testing process, the first step in ad-hoc is to become familiar with the software and complete your homework. | Exploratory testing is discovering bugs while simultaneously learning about the application. |
Before working with the software, a tester must be completely knowledgeable. | There is no requirement to be familiar with the program beforehand. Without or with knowledge of the subject being tested, the tester can conduct the test. |
The procedure has no purpose or goal; everything is carried out randomly, without any framework. | Exploratory testing establishes the aims and goals while allowing the tester to explore the program freely. |
There is no requirement for documentation because none of the carried-out procedures are recorded. | In exploratory testing, the action taken may be recorded or documented. Hence, it is easy to reproduce the bugs that have been found. |
