What Is Functional Testing?

Functional testing verifies that software features and functionalities work as intended. It validates that the application meets requirements and delivers the expected results under different conditions. It is crucial for creating reliable applications, fostering user trust, and supporting business objectives.

What Is An Example of Functional Testing?

One typical example is related to verifying a login system to confirm it accepts valid credentials and blocks unauthorized access. For instance, in banking, it tests features like fund transfers or account statements. In healthcare, it checks a patient portal's ability to display medical records correctly.

Should Functional Tests Be Automated?

It's crucial to automate repetitive, high-frequency tests like regression or login validations to save time and increase consistency. We strongly recommend using manual testing for scenarios needing human judgment or complex interactions. Combining both approaches delivers efficient test coverage.

  • Our Approach

    We Believe Testing is a Creative Process. Our team leverages their experience and critical thinking to explore how the software works, how it is used, and how it may fail. This involves a comprehensive examination, including both system testing and integration testing. Our approach can vary from scripted to fully exploratory testing, enabling us to perform functional testing tailored to your needs.

  • User Experience

    We evaluate the software from the user's perspective to assess its usability and user experience. This process incorporates software functional testing to identify issues that may affect the user's ability to interact with the software and cause confusion or frustration. User experience is key to achieving a comprehensive and effective functional testing process.

  • Continuous Evolution

    The journey of software testing is one of continuous learning and adaptation. Our experience in conducting rigorous regression testing across hundreds of projects worldwide has refined our ability to identify and address potential issues. We consistently implement functional testing strategies that align with our client's evolving needs and technological advancements.
