Change Control

is a formal process used to ensure that changes to a product or system are introduced in a controlled and coordinated manner. It reduces the possibility that unnecessary changes will be introduced to a system without forethought, introducing faults into the system or undoing changes made by other users of software. The goals of a change control procedure usually include minimal disruption to services, reduction in back-out activities, and cost-effective utilization of resources involved in implementing change.

Difference between adhoc testing,monkey testing and exploratory testing

Adhoc testing: This Kind of testing dosen't have a any process/test case/Test senarios defined/preplanned to do it.It involves simultaneous test design and test execution.

Monkey testing:-monkey testing is a testing that runs with no specific test in mind. The monkey in this case is the producer of any input data (whether that be file data, or input device data).
Keep pressing some keys randomely and check whether the software fails or not.

Exploratory testing is simultaneous learning, test design and test execution.It is a type of adhoc testing, but here the tester does not have much idea about the application, he explores the system in an attempt to learn the application and simultaneously test it
