Quality analysts ensure the correctness of the functioning of a block of software by performing functional testing. Functional Testing ensures that the software does not produce unlikely behaviors in specific circumstances.
Each functionality of the application software under test is validated similarly against the predefined requirements that each of them has to satisfy.
This confirms the working of the whole system as per the software requirement specifications or user specifications thus ensuring the quality of the product/application software under test.
Identifying and revealing the functional flaws in an application before they reach the hands of customers is inevitable.
Ascertains the release of a usable product with a happy customer journey that meets all the requirements specified initially before the development commenced.
The precision in the functional performance of an application software can be tested by executing functional testing.
Functional Testing ensures interconnectivity between different application softwares to ensure smooth and faultless transactions.
Functional testing ensures that the customer or end-user will ultimately be satisfied with the functioning of the application.
Functional testing thus improves the quality of a product ultimately.
“Automating the execution of test cases related to functional testing is highly advantageous in
saving time and cost of operation if the product is started rolling out with stable functionalities.”
The steps followed by software testers from Testvox for the whole Functional Testing Process are listed below. By providing appropriate input, we verify the output against the Functional requirements for each of the functionality or features of the product.
Have a thorough understanding of the functional requirements/features of the application under test(AUT) . Accomplished with a demo/ with the aid of a functional requirement document /by raising queries to the customer .
Based on the requirements of the software application under test, a detailed test plan document as well as high-level test scenarios are prepared. This will be reviewed from the client side as well as by experts from Testvox.
Once the test plan and high-level test scenarios are approved by the client and by experts from Testvox, software testers from Testvox will prepare the test case documents.
Software testers will start the execution of each test case on the corresponding functionality or feature. Smoke testing is performed first and if it’s a success, then full functionality testing of the application commences.
Report the identified bugs as early as possible using appropriate bug reporting tools. Assure that the bugs are assigned to the right person with more details including test evidence.
Rerun the test case that caused the generation of a bug once the software developer rectifies it. Also rerun other test cases that are related to the test case or test scenario that caused the bug.
Perform regression testing on the entire module associated with the reported bugs once the reported bugs are fixed to make sure that there are no other related issues due to the bug fix.
Prepare a detailed test report and summary document once the testing process is complete to be given to the client. Also include the traceability matrix for test coverage and bug status.
