Testing - Context Driven

I very strongly believe in the context-driven school of testing.

I always reason.......how can testing happen without a context ?
When ever you start testing, you already have a goal in mind. The goal can be the expected output of the program. It can be expectations from you as a tester, in sync with the Requirement document, Business requirement document, test design document or functional design document and so on ........ (I plan to keep adding to the list :) )

The crux ....... there will always be a start point and an end point to anything under test in this practical world ...... and as soon as you define these ........everything with this population has to be contextual !!

So whatever you subject to testing will be related to some or the other context.
