Functional testing
We provide manual, semi-automated and automated functional testing services to ensure that both front-end and back-end components of the application work properly and as initially designed.
GlobalSourceUS Functional Testing Services provide functional testing services for independent software vendors and enterprises.
GlobalSourceUS will work with clients during early stages of SDLC to prevent defects and identify defects early to reduce the overall testing costs, rework costs and improve quality. GlobalSourceUS will follow disciplined testing approach and leverages proven industry standard testing techniques, tools, pre-built test accelerators, and methodologies. Our structured and risk based regression testing approach ensures that the new features or enhancements do not cause any unintended impact to the existing quality of applications.
Key Aspects of Functional Testing:
Unit Testing:
– Verify the functionality of individual components or units of your software to ensure they work correctly in isolation.
Integration Testing:
– Validate the seamless integration of different modules or components to ensure they function cohesively as a complete system.
System Testing:
– Assess the overall functionality of the entire system to ensure it meets the specified requirements and behaves as expected.
User Interface (UI) Testing:
– Evaluate the user interface for usability, accessibility, and consistency to deliver a positive user experience.
Usability Testing:
– Assess the overall user-friendliness of your application, focusing on user interactions and overall ease of use.
Performance Testing:
– Evaluate the responsiveness, stability, and overall performance of your application under different conditions
Security Testing:
– Identify vulnerabilities and ensure the security of your application by conducting thorough security testing.
Compatibility Testing:
– Validate that your application functions correctly across various browsers, devices, and operating systems.

How Functional Testing Works:
Functional testing is a crucial phase in software development, ensuring that an application’s functions perform as intended. This process involves systematically evaluating each feature to verify its compliance with specified requirements.
Requirements Verification:
Functional testing begins with a meticulous review of software requirements to establish a testing roadmap.
Test Planning:
Detailed test plans are developed, outlining the scope, objectives, and criteria for functional testing.
Test Case Design:
Test cases are created to cover various scenarios, including normal and edge cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Execution:
-Test cases are executed systematically, and the application is tested against functional specifications.
Data Validation:
-Functional testing includes validating input data and ensuring accurate output results.
Error Identification:
-The process involves identifying and documenting any deviations from expected outcomes, including software bugs.
Regression Testing:
-Changes in the software are tested to ensure that existing functionalities remain unaffected by updates or modifications.
User Interface Testing:
-Functional testing assesses the application’s user interface, confirming its responsiveness and user-friendliness.
Integration Testing:
-The integration of individual components is tested to ensure seamless communication and collaboration.
Performance Testing:
-Functional testing extends to evaluate the application’s performance under various conditions, such as load and stress testing.
Functional testing plays a pivotal role in delivering a software product that not only meets but exceeds user expectations, ensuring its reliability, functionality, and overall quality.
Requirements analysis and clarification
Our specialists seamlessly integrate into your project team. The testing team works closely with BAs, developers and stakeholders to prevent unclear requirements in the specification. This helps our testing team to understand the project scope and its specifics, this helps the team to draft the test strategy.
Test planning and test design
Drafting test plan
The Test Lead drafts a detailed test plan that is reviewed by stakeholders and approved.
Test design
The testing team writes test cases / checklists according to the test plan and unite them into a test case document. Each requirement in the specification is transformed into a test case, so tests cover as much of specified behavior as possible.
Prep measures
The testing team sets up a well-balanced strategy with an optimal mix of manual and automated testing. Thereafter, the test plan, the test case document, the test environment and the test data are created and approved.
