This means impromptu testing; that is, someone sits down and makes up test cases on the spur of the moment, as quickly as possible, as ideas occur to them. This kind of testing generally finds most bugs in new software in the shortest possible time.
It is usually not comprehensive, because it is difficult to think of everything in a short session, but it is often inventive, and frequently uncovers a myriad of problems. It is often exciting and rewarding because testers get satisfaction from making things fail!
