MONKEY TESTING:
In computer science, a monkey test is a unit test that runs
with no specific test in mind. The monkey in this case is
the producer of any input. For example, a monkey test can
enter random strings into text boxes to ensure handling of
all possible user input or provide garbage files to check
for loading routines that have blind faith in their data.
The test monkey is technically known to conduct stochastic
testing, which is in the category of black-box testing.
The name 'monkey' comes from the adage that ‘a thousand
monkeys at a thousand typewriters will eventually type out
the entire works of Shakespeare’. Cf. the Infinite monkey
theorem.
SMOKE TESTING:
Refers to the first test made after assembly or repairs to
a system, to provide some assurance that the system under
test will not catastrophically fail. After a smoke test
proves that the software will not crash outright," the
system is ready for more stressful testing.
AD HOC TESTING:
Ad hoc testing is a commonly used term for software testing
performed without planning and documentation (but can be
applied to early scientific experimental studies).
The tests are intended to be run only once, unless a defect
is discovered. Ad hoc testing is a part of exploratory
testing,[citation needed] being the least formal of test
methods. In this view, ad hoc testing has been criticized
because it isn't structured, but this can also be a
strength: important things can be found quickly. It is
performed with improvisation, the tester seeks to find bugs
with any means that seem appropriate. It contrasts to
regression testing that looks for a specific issue with
detailed reproduction steps, and a clear expected result.
Ad hoc testing is most often used as a complement to other
types of testing.
