what we have to do if the application has some additional
functionality which is not
specified as part of functional spec.(but is useful.. may b
futher)
Do we consider it as a defect?

Answer Posted / 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

http://www.softwaretestingclub.com/forum/topics/a-defect-by-any-other-name

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.
