Actually Developers will give client and client will ask to certify the build.

 

Depends on the resources(tester's, cost, time), complexity of the application in hand to draft a efficient testing strategy.

 

I would go with adhoc and exploratory methodologies with Agile model.

Interesting question! I guess Siddiq answered your question. However, I find some issues with the question that was asked.

 

1. If a project started 6 months ago, then there should have been a project plan detailing the code drops to the testing team. (Effective Project Management would be necessary for detailed visibility.)

2. 6 months is a long time for the test lead to prepare a testing strategy, plan, and relevant test cases (provided there are detailed requirements that are made available.)

 Siddiq and Behbood .. You both are correct in your own ways ...... ! As far as Behbood has pointed .. Yess... 6 months period is more than enough for test leads or TM's to be ready with testing artigcats but I shall tell you,  that in Indian conditions its quite common scenario When client requests the development team to have some testing activities on the Project ( May be because of Cost reasons ) and in that case my Vote goes to Siddid ...  Exploratory followed by Ad-hoc using Agile ...................
