- Writing test cases/checklists and uniting them into a test case document.
- Setting up a strategy with a mix of manual and automated testing.
- Outcomes: Creation and approval of the test plan, test case document, test environment, and test data
Stabilization
- Test execution based on the test case document and test plan.
- Defect reporting through the preferred defect tracking system.
- Exploratory testing to ensure no bugs are missed.
- Test reporting with executed tests, results, and defects found.
- Defect validation and regression testing to ensure the application is fully functional.
- Outcomes: Preparation of the test summary report providing a full view of product quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is functional testing services?
Functional testing is a testing method aimed at ensuring that every feature of an application operates in accordance with its specified requirements. It involves comparing each function against its respective requirement to confirm that its output aligns with what the end user expects.
2. Is functional testing the same as UAT?
User Acceptance Testing (UAT) engages stakeholders such as end-users, clients, and business owners, promoting their ownership and confidence in the software's readiness for deployment. In contrast, functional testing is mainly carried out by testers and quality assurance professionals.
3. Does functional testing require coding?
Functional testing is a type of testing that ensures each function of a software application operates according to its requirements and specifications. This testing focuses on the application's behavior rather than its source code.
4. Is functional testing manual or automation?
Functional testing involves manual processes that rely on human intervention, whereas automated testing utilizes tools and scripts for execution.
5. Which is better functional testing or performance testing?
Functional testing verifies that each feature operates as intended for users, while performance testing assesses backend attributes to ensure long-term software performance.
