Functional Testing Services

360logica functional testing services assure the software product quality and make sure its efficient functioning must not be restricted because of present and future risks. Our competency in usability testing and quality assurance guarantees that the client application is tested against given and foreseeable objectives and satisfies all parameters. The expertise our team has in functional testing automation ensures error-free integration, effective compatibility testing, and enhanced reliability of applications across all industries at low cost and within the least possible time.

Functional Testing: The Need For

Functional testing is a type of graphical user interface test carried on a complete, integrated system with the objective to assess compliance of an application with specified end-user requirements. It calls for effective examination and validation of all functions, features, and capability of a software product. Requirement-based functional, usability, and compatibility testing approaches play a significant role in minimizing undetected defects in products.

Our Approach Assures Highest Quality Functional Testing

360logica testing team has professionals with years of experience, qualified skills, and excellent track record in providing functional testing to clients in retail, IT, telecom, e-commerce, e-learning, manufacturing, finance, healthcare, travel, technology, and other sectors. Our know-how helps formulate robust approach and customized test methodology to authenticate that an application meets all prerequisites as mentioned in business requirement documents and its functional behavior are according to the expectations. We use a variety licensed and open source tools, which brings down the cost of testing.

With the help of testing automation, we create interfaces useful for cost-effective regression testing during the pre and post-deployment of software products. Our ability to use customize selenium automation framework not only promises better integration and compatibility testing, but also assures high-quality and consistent open source testing of applications. During the website testing phase, the application is run on different browsers and against a number of value propositions to maximize its compatibility and confirm robust functional features.

The following five steps demarcate the scope and essence of our functional testing services.

• Identification of requirements the software projected to perform
• Creation of input data following function specifications set by project objectives
• Determination of output in conformity with requirements
• Execution of test cases
• Analysis and assessment of actual findings against expected outputs

Test Cycle for Requirement-Based Functional Testing

360logica functional testing team follows an effective test cycle with well-defined processes and deliverables. The implementation of processes and application of deliverables to any given testing situation depends on available human and material resources, schedule, and the authorization of the test organization. The following key component of processes and primary deliverables are part of our requirement-based functional testing approach.

Test Planning

Whether it is functional testing or compatibility testing, tests are planned thoroughly. Test leads with input from the customer end and assistance of the test team defines deliverables, outlines scope of the test, and prepares the test schedule. However, the Test Plan and the Work Plan is subject to revision as new issues continue to come up during the testing cycle.

Partitioning or Functional Decomposition

We breakdown a system into various possible functional components and check capability of the each area to execute tasks allotted. Usually functional decomposition is entrusted to a different group in the organization. Following independent functional testing of parts, the test team review documented deliverables keeping in view the integration process. If it founds that functional partitions are not sufficiently defined, the team then creates and maintains them as per the requirement.

Requirements Definition/Verification

Often software development teams jump directly from conceptual stage to functional specifications or code without passing on any software design deliverables. This makes defining and verifying requirements effectively during the testing process. With its extensive experience and expertise, 360logica software testing team helps software developing teams to set these requirements and if they are not going to deliver the same, we create set of testable requirements on our own. These are categorized under suitable functional partition and verified for both as individual and integrated roles through reliable usability and compatibility testing processes.

Test Case Design

Our focused approach helps us design customized test cases to establish that functional behavior an application is inconformity to its stated requirements and foreseeable end user experience. These tailor-made test cases are listed under the apt functional partitions and mapped as per requirements to be tested.

Traceability Matrix

We develop and follow a traceability matrix that offers complete error-free results and save time and cost. A test design activity is believed to be completed only after all aspects of a requirement are thoroughly mapped and tested using test cases. Our experts trace test cases to a requirement for which these are purposely created. This helps obtain a more precise picture of the application during the coverage analysis process.

Test Case Execution

Following normal software testing process, we execute test cases and record the results. The execution of each test plan is defined keeping in view the test plan and the state of the software product. If it is ascertained that any of requirement test doses not comply with the existing state of the application, we defer it until such testing is justified as per available requirements, budget, and time.

Defect Management

Any defect identified during the test preparation and execution is documented, traced to specific requirement, and managed by the testing team. We analyze the reason for not performing to specification and suggest appropriate measures to the developing team.

Coverage Analysis

The test team prepares and shares periodic progress report detailing results obtained in compatibility testing, usability testing, website testing, test automation development, and other areas of functional testing. This coverage analysis of requirements, test process, and flaws apprises developers and stakeholders of appropriate behavior showed by various functional partitions, percentage of the requirements successfully tested against specifications, and those sections not conforming to specifications or requiring changes.
