Testing Terms

Monkey Testing

This is another name for "Ad Hoc Testing"; it comes from the joke that if you put 100 monkeys in a room with 100 typewriters, randomly punching keys, sooner or later they will type out a Shakespearean sonnet. So every time one of your ad hoc testers finds a new bug, you can toss him a banana.
