Explanation

Error guessing is an experience-based technique where testers use intuition to find defects. It's best applied AFTER formal techniques (equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, etc.) because these systematic methods provide structured coverage first. Error guessing then catches edge cases formal methods might miss - it's a supplement, not a replacement.
