What is Monkey Testing? 🐵

Monkey testing is a sort of software testing in which the system is tested at random rather than using preset test cases. The goal is to find unexpected bugs by mimicking unusual user behavior. Testers or automated tools generate random inputs to determine whether the system crashes or behaves improperly.

Key Features of Monkey Testing 🛠️:

✅ Random Inputs: Testers enter data randomly, without any logical order.

✅ No predefined test cases: Testing is not structured.

✅ Execution Options: Manual or automatic.

✅ Stress testing can identify unexpected crashes and performance concerns.

✅ Identifies Unexpected Bugs: Targets unusual or hidden faults.

Types of Monkey Testing: 🏷️

1. Dumb Monkey Testing🤪.

The tester has no previous understanding of the system.

Inputs are arbitrarily assigned without regard for valid user activities.

Mostly used to test system stability.

2. Smart Monkey Testing 🧐.

The tester has an understanding of the system.

Inputs are provided depending on anticipated user behavior.

Ensures that critical functions operate properly under random conditions.

3. Brilliant monkey testing 🧠

The tester is well informed about the system.

Concentrates on edge cases and complicated settings.

Identifies hidden defects that may not be found by structured testing.

Examples of monkey testing: 🎯

To test system reaction, try clicking random buttons in a mobile app to check for unexpected crashes or entering random characters in a login/search area.

🔹 Randomly sending data to a server to ensure stability and performance.

🔹 Testing website operation through random navigation.
