There are two different types of software testing that can be run on the software: monkey testing and adhoc testing. Tests are conducted to ensure that the system is bug-free.
Adhoc Testing : It is usually performed randomly without documentation or testing design and it is usually unplanned. The tester needs to have a thorough understanding of the system under test in order to conduct effective adhoc testing. It is meant to ensure that the application or system does not crash.
Monkey Testing : This is similar to Ad Hoc Testing, except that it can be done by testers without any prior knowledge or information about the software. The monkey test is an automated test conducted without planning any specific test in advance. A tester tests the system by randomly trying its features to see if he can break it.
