Question { Verisoft, 8360 }

If you have an application to test and there are no
requirement specs, no test cases , no documents, you
dont know even the functionality then how would you perform
testing?

Answer

I think santosh is right. In ad-hoc testing it's assumed
that the tester has significant knowledge of the program
under test. So in this case we can do exploratory testing
only.

Question { Covansys, 7688 }

Suppose one functionality appears in an application which
was not there in the requirements..so what u do as a tester?

Answer

Any deviation from requirement is a bug.
If the functionality is not required,it should be removed.
Nobody knows waht impact can that functionality can cause
to the program in future.
