Functional Testing

XBOSoft’s software functional testing services give you piece of mind that your software application’s functions have been thoroughly tested to ensure you didn’t miss anything. Our functional testing best practices quickly determine whether the application works as designed using a proven framework thoroughly testing your software in 4 areas: UI, Functionality, Data Verification, and Regression.

• User Interface functional testing reveals defects that may not be apparent during internal code reviews and inspections. When testing the UI, we focus on the application's usability rather than the application's complex functions, because if the UI doesn't work well, it doesn’t matter how great the reports are. This is especially true when testing web applications where we may also find missing or incorrect functionality design that can lead to user dissatisfaction even though there are no obvious defects.
• Functionality testing transforms functional requirements into test cases utilizing a wide range techniques using best practice test case design. Functional coverage may also include the API's, databases, installation, configuration, upgrade, and networking features. Functional testing across platforms, or platform compatibility testing, is executed using a matrix test strategy after carefully determining end user profiles.
• Data verification testing ensures data integrity throughout your application and ensures calculations and formulas are consistent throughout.
• Regression testing gives you insurance using a strategy customized to your software’s functionality and your release schedule.

Our functional testing servicesuse a structured test methodology that we’ve developed to keep projects in scope and on time:

1. Test Strategy, Planning and Control: The test strategy systematically evaluates risk and makes sure we are putting our effort in the right places. This is followed by a test planfor what components, functions and features should be tested, with resources and timing.
2. Test Preparation and Specification: Next, a test specification including test infrastructure and test cases/use cases developed according to the test plan with user scenarios and test cases specifically designed per identified risks.
3. Test Evaluation and Improvement: After each test cycle, we develop key indicators of the test process so that we can benchmark and continuously improve.
