RE: Perform Testing Without Expected Results

| This scenario is pretty close to testing without requirements. In an ideal environment this is impossible; you cannot test without knowing what the result should be. Guessing is what I can call it, but testers many times face this kind of situations, where they are required to test without any kind of support documentations. Though it is not impossible to test in these kind of situations, but you need to plan your test thoroughly to mitigate risks. Firstly if there is no clear documentation to have a view of the expected results then ask the projects BA or PM for screen shorts or any other design artifacts, secondly be an active listener in project meets and get hold of the module names and short descriptions of the modules to infer logical meanings from end user’s point-of-view, make sure to get it checked from any business/development guy. And finally never be afraid of asking questions. This will help you in your testing where you are not aware of the expected result or of the requirements. |
