What if the project isn't big enough to justify extensive testing?

 Consider the impact of
project errors, not the size of the project. However, if extensive testing is
still not justified, risk analysis is again needed and the same considerations
as described previously in 'What if there isn't enough time
for thorough testing?' apply. The tester might then do ad hoc testing, or
write up a limited test plan based on the risk analysis

What if the software is so buggy it can't really be tested at all?

The best bet in this situation is for the testers to go through the process of reporting whatever bugs or blocking-type problems initially show up, with the focus being on critical bugs. Since this type of problem can severely affect schedules, and indicates deeper problems in the software development process (such as insufficient unit testing or insufficient integration testing, poor design, improper build or release procedures, etc.) managers should be notified, and provided with some documentation as evidence of the problem.
