in this situation i will try to test the application with the perception of end user. 
and  
i use my(or someones) previous experiences. 
here we are not prepare any formal test plans and testcase documents.  
most of the time we perform ad-hoc on this type of applications.

In these type of situations we do Adhoc testing(Testing with out any Required Documents), but basically testing without documents itsself is a bug,only thing we can do is by using our testing knowledge and experience wecan carry out.

I would not perform ad-hoc testing.

Ad-hoc testing is performed after completing formal testing.  By this time, testers have already studied requirements, have prepared tests cases to cover them, and have executed their test cases over numerous test cycles.  By this time, they know the product very well. 

I would perform exploratory testing.

Exploratory testing is performed when there is little to no prior knowledge of the product.  Exploratory testing strives to identify defects as quickly as possible and therefore doesn't waste time studying requirements and authoring test cases prior to the test effort.  Instead, exploratory testers 1) learn about their products, 2) execute tests, and 3) author test cases at the same time.
