Functional Testing

Functional Testing is a type of software testing that verifies that each function of the software application operates in conformance with the requirement specification. This testing primarily involves black-box testing and is concerned with the functionality of the software, ensuring that the application behaves as expected. Functional testing focuses on user interactions and the outputs generated in response to user inputs. Tools like Selenium, QTP, and TestComplete are commonly used for functional testing. By performing functional testing, teams can ensure that their applications meet the specified requirements and provide a seamless user experience.
