# What is Ad Hoc Testing?

**Ad Hoc Testing** is a Sofy feature that allows you to test your app in an _ad hoc_ manner (as the name implies) with very little pre-requisites.

Here are a few Use Case scenarios:

- A **tester** can simply use Adhoc Testing to test their app.
- A **developer** can use Adhoc Testing to verify a private build before checking in the code.
- A **product manager** can use Adhoc Testing to validate an app's usability and performance features.

Adhoc Testing differs from [Manual Testing](https://docs.sofy.ai/mobile-manual-testing/running-manual-tests) in the following ways:

- Manual Testing requires you to have a Test Case
- Test Results are automatically created when you execute a Manual Test
- You can [create issues](https://docs.sofy.ai/mobile-manual-testing/creating-a-bug-issue) from within Sofy while you are executing a manual test case
