Random testing: A black box test design technique where test cases are
selected, possibly using a pseudo-random generation algorithm, to match an
operational profile. This technique can be used for testing non-functional
attributes such as reliability and performance.

Error guessing: A test design technique where the experience of the
tester is used to anticipate what defects might be present in the component or
system under test as a result of errors made, and to design tests specifically
to expose them.

Random testing are adhoc testing when test cases are not prepared and major functionalities are need to test in any sequence. Whereas the error guessing is purposely done to find the defect as enter date like 32 Jan 2007 in date field.
