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

Answer Posted / satish

Monkey (light weight jumps easily) testing resembles the
behavior of a monkey on a tree....it jumps from one branch
to another with out any sequence/order....in the same way
monkey testing is the process of testing the functions of a
system with out any sequence or order... a tester will test
one function in module A and jump to another function in
another Module G and come back to another function in module C..

It is also called Random testing...it factories to test the
quality of group of items they will pick some items randomly
from a group of items and test the quality and analyze the
results.. this will be done by higher people in the
Test/Quality Center...

Gorilla (heavy weight can't move so easily) Testing on the
other hand is testing a function or module heavily....for
example testing a email functionality by click on "send
email" button...or creating an order by click on "check out"
button... continuously for more times...(with out stopping
after the first click..) in the first case it will send many
emails if it is delivering for each click event...same away
it may try to create multiple orders if it is processing
order for each click event...and some times may go in to
loop and application will hang after consuming more
resources...generally this will happen if there is a problem
in the hardware (key board)...if the key board is too old
some times the keys may struck suddenly leads to generation
of multiple events....
