the Role of Documents 

• Some novice and experienced testers believe that
  one can properly perform mobile application
  testing, desktop testing and web site
  testing without consulting the documentation, and
  writing documents is just a waste of time, it can
  be done hastily by any team member when there is
  a free time.

the Role of Documents 

• Carefully written documents help to simplify
  relationships with the customers and avoid
  misunderstanding. Documents clearly determine
  what the application should be like, what aspects
  of the application are to be tested, how to
  prepare error reports for the development team.

the Role of Documents 

• Those, who have substantial experience in load
  testing, functional testing, security testing,
  etc., can verify software without documents,
  relying on their experience and knowledge. But in
  this case one cannot be sure that there will be
  no complaints from the customers.
