Answer / sj

Exploratory Testing: Exploratory Testing can be a creative,
informal software test that is not based on formal test
plans or test cases, testers may be learning the software
as they test it.

Ad-hoc testing: Ad-hoc testing is similar to exploratory
testing, but often taken to mean that the testers have
significant understanding of the software before testing it.

time the next test you should perform is not obvious, or
when you want to go beyond the obvious.
