Functional Testing with Testinium
Testinium gives all in one service to check your front-end for functional correctness, under load in the cloud and on premise, and scale up to 2 million virtual users.
Software tests have to be repeated often during development cycles to ensure quality. For each release of the software it may be tested on all supported operating systems and hardware configurations. Manually repeating these tests is costly and time consuming. Once created, automated tests can be run over and over again at no additional cost and they are much faster than manual tests. Run your tests in parallel on multiple browsers simultaneously
Functional Testing with Testinium
Testinium provides the essential functional testing techniques your product requires and hundreds of tailored solutions to make sure it is ready for the next step.
What is Functional Testing
- User Interface
- APIs
- Database
- Security
- Client/Server communication
- Other functionality of your application
The Prime Objective of Functional Testing is Checking the Functionalities
Mainline Functions
Accessibility
Basic Usability
Error Conditions
Step by Step Process of Functional Testing
- Determine which functionality of the product needs to be tested. This can vary from testing main functions, messages, error conditions and/or product usability.
- Create input data for functionalities to be tested according to specified requirements.
- Determine acceptable output parameters according to specified requirements.
- Execute test cases.
- Compare actual output from the test with the predetermined output values. This reveals if the system is working as expected.
Entry Criteria
- The requirement specification document is defined and approved.
- Test cases have been prepared.
- Test data has been created.
- The environment for testing is ready, all the tools that are required are available and ready.
- Complete or partial Application is developed and unit tested and is ready for testing.
Exit Criteria
- Execution of all the functional test cases has been completed.
- No critical or minor, major bugs are open.
- Reported bugs have been acknowledged.
Why Automate Functional Tests?
Functional testing is the equivalent in that you’re checking every function of the application works as required before the product is released to the public. Uncovering bugs in testing is preferable before the product goes wide scale. Debugging is more manageable in a contained space after all.
Test automation lets software teams design, write, execute, and review tests for predefined actions. Common actions that do not change frequently can be automated, but (as we’ve seen from the testing pyramid) most experts recommend automating lower level tests in preference to actions taken through the user interface.
