Can a Tester test any application without Specifications/Requirements?..

Answer / girish mishra

Yes of course.In interview this may a common question who
are trying in Testing.Ad-hoc testing is a part of testing
activities where a tester can test the application's major
functionalities without prior writting any test cases and
any pre-test plan knowledge.

This ad-hoc testing is used only for tester's learning and
understanding.There is expectation of any output or results.
Where the project is small and time limit is little you can
go for ad-hoc testing even without any requirement
specifications.

Can a Tester test any application without Specifications/Requirements?..

Answer / nishat

The answer is No.
A tester has to test the application so as to meet the
requirements.
Adhoc testing is a testing phase where the tester checks
the functionality of a system rather than testing it
against the requirements, but eventually by the end the
tester has to test the application satisfying the
requirements.
