Well if I was Testing Software and got an Error and didn't know what it was, I may Guess as to what caused the Error. How's that?
Where did you get this question? Is it from an interview or did it come up during a conversation with your co-workers\manager?

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. [ISTQB]

Usually, people speak of Error Guessing as a precursor to testing. You use your knowledge of the system, developer, etc to think about "errors which are likely to occur", and then go looking for them specifically.
For example, I've worked with developers in the past who tended to be very weak in input validation. My Error Guessing might tell me to "try lots of invalid input values" as a source of potential bugs when testing code from these particular developers.
Hi,
Basically error guessing is based on a Testers experience in a particular domain or a product where the tester will test the normal scenario with differents sets of data to break the logic behind that scenario which has been coded for the scenario to be operable.
