What would you do if you were asked to test a system which is
unfamiliar to you has out-of-date or inadequate documentation?

Answer Posted / akhaleshyadav1985

Talk to users, developers and analysts to understand what the system is
supposed to do.
Document this understanding and get it reviewed and use this as a
substitute for the Requirements/Design documentation.
Talk with testers who have tested the system previously
Read whatever is available and clarify assumptions
