FUNCTIONAL TESTING

FUNCTIONAL TESTING, ALSO KNOWN AS SPECIFICATION-BASED TESTING, EVALUATES INDIVIDUAL FUNCTIONS OF A SOFTWARE SYSTEM TO VERIFY THAT THEY ADHERE TO PRE-DEFINED SPECIFICATIONS. IT TESTS THE FUNCTIONAL ACCURACY, INTEROPERABILITY OF SUBSYSTEMS AND COMPLIANCE WITH PRE-DEFINED STANDARDS IN THE CONTEXT OF FUNCTIONAL AND BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.

A PROPER FUNCTIONAL TESTING ASSURES THAT EVERY FUNCTION OF THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS REQUIRED

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL TESTING?

 Functional Testing, also known as Specification-based testing, evaluates individual functions

of a software system to verify that they adhere to pre-defined specifications. It tests the functional accuracy, interoperability of subsystems and compliance with pre-defined standards in the context of functional and business requirements.

 The primary focus of this type of testing is validating the results of processing, not “how” the

processing is done. It can also be termed as a form of Black Box testing.

 Functional Testing is applicable at any level of granularity, be it at individual module levels or

overall system levels. Depending on the level of granularity and interdependence, appropriate test cases are designed.

 Any software system also has certain functions or plugins that can be tested independent of other

functionalities. Such features are known as Independently Testable features. Such features either take inputs from modules of software under test or provide inputs to them.  Explore more at : https://www.webomates.com/   Vist : https://www.webomates.com/blog/functional-testing/functional-testing/
