Answer / tester

1. Functionalities out of requirement specification should
be always treated as defect
but before logging I'll suggest to ensure whether it is a

Answer / pooja

Defect is something which takes value away from the product or which is bugging the concerned stakeholder.
If it is not mentioned in the requirement document, still it is a defect, it is a requirement defect.

Refer the dicussion on

and the reply by the Michael Bolton.

Testing is not only about finding defect or see if product is confirming with the requirement but it is more than that. It is about search of information. Your objective of search for information may vary!

Please refer informative articles by Sir Cem Kaner, Sir James Bach and Sir Michael Bolton.

Answer / hema

According 2 my knowledge..,Testing means testing a product
whether it satisfies all the requirement specification.. so
functionalities out of requirement specification should be
treated as defect ONLY WHEN THEY AFFECT THE REQUIREMENT
SPECIFICATION..

But as a tester,its better to get a clarification from
development team.

correct me if im wrong....
