Are monkey testing & gorilla testing same? If not, then
what is the difference between these two?

Answer Posted / sherry t

It seems now that the difference between monkey testing and
gorilla testing is clear.
I want to clarify another conception: although both monkey
testing and gorilla testing comes from ad hoc testing, they
are different from ad hoc testing and also random testing.

The following definitions from ISTQB glossary give a good
description:

ad hoc testing(emphasizing testing process): Testing
carried out informally; no formal test preparation takes
place, no recognized test design technique is used, there
are no expectations for results and arbitrariness guides
the test execution activity.
random testing (emphasizing testing technique or test
design) : A black box test design technique where test
cases are selected, possibly using a pseudo-random
generation algorithm, to match an operational profile. This
technique can be used for testing non-functional attributes
such as reliability and performance.
monkey testing(emphasizing testing behaviour): Testing by
means of a random selection from a large range of inputs
and by randomly pushing buttons, ignorant on how the
product is being used.
