Purpose & Methodology - Functionality Testing
Purpose
The purpose of functionality testing is to reveal issues concerning the product’s functionality and conformance to stated/documented behavior.
Methodology
The first step in evaluating a product’s functionality is to become familiar with the product itself and with the product’s desired behavior. Ideally, this process is aided by documentation such as the product’s functional specifications and/or user manual. Even without such documentation, expected behavior can often be adequately modeled based on industry standards and tester intuition. Once a product’s expected functionality has been defined, test cases and/or test procedures can be created that exercise the product in order to test actual behavior against expected behavior. Testing the product’s functionality then involves the execution of any test cases that have been created, as well as subjecting the program to a certain amount of ad hoc testing. Ad hoc QA is testing that is not rigorously structured, but instead is designed to address areas that the tester, using his/her experience, feels are high risk areas. Ad hoc QA often involves exercising the program in a somewhat unconventional manner. Certain portions of a functionality testing effort may also be automated, but the feasibility of such an effort depends on several factors, and should be discussed with a qualified Beta Breakers engineer.
“I give Beta Breakers my highest recommendation for any business seeking a cost-effective, quality, and timely solution for getting their software products tested. Their highly professional test teams have been instrumental in the success of our projects over the last decade and I’m sure will be for years to come.”
