Will act like a regression testing in a minimal time. You can select high priority test case or scenarios and can execute the same. If you dont have time for another execution cycle you can always go with Ad hoc testing.

We 'll do Adhoc testing when there is little time for thorough testing. Testing those areas which are having more probability of finding defects.(basing on our experience.)

or

we have leisure time in between builds then also we can go for adhoc testing to check for any defects.

We donot need any test cases to perform adhoc testing but based on our experience we choose those areas where probability of finding a defect is high.

Correct me , if i am wrong.
