Functional testing is a software testing approach that aims to confirm that the software meets its functional requirements and specifications. Its primary objective is to assess each function of the software application by supplying suitable input and verifying the output against the established functional requirements.
The core focus of functional testing lies in black box testing, which means it does not delve into the application's source code. Instead, it examines various aspects such as the user interface, APIs, database functionality, security measures, client/server communication, and other functionalities of the Application Under Test (AUT). Functional testing can be conducted either manually or through automated means.
This type of testing focuses on testing individual units or components of the software in isolation to ensure that each unit functions correctly and meets the specified requirements.
This type of testing verifies the interactions between different modules or components of the software to ensure they work together seamlessly and produce the desired outcomes.
System testing involves testing the entire system as a whole to validate its behaviour and functionality in accordance with the defined requirements. System testing verifies the integration of various modules and their interactions.
This is an initial round of testing that checks the basic functionality of the software to determine if it is stable enough for further testing. Smoke tests cover essential features and provide an early indication of any critical issues.
Message us at any time to tell us about your software or embedded software and one of our friendly team members will get back to you with further information.
We can set up a consultation either in person or online in order to discuss your specific requirements and for us to provide you with some initial recommendations.
After our initial consultation, you will be provided a scope of work and our formal Services Agreement.
Our scope of work will outline what testing methodologies are planned for your software (or the package you have opted for), the inclusions and exclusions, and is completely bespoke to your specific requirements.
Afterwards we will set up specified communication channels and work will begin.
We aim to establish long-term partnerships built on the most appropriate structure to serve your requirements. Our team are seasoned communicators when it comes to testing and focus on client satisfaction, which means that you will be receiving ongoing productive feedback and suggestions.
At the end of our engagement, you will receive a formal Test Report. This report will outline any issues found within your software in a straightforward, efficient structure with only the necessary information.
