Functional Testing Interview Questions

functional testing: testing each and ever functionality in the application whether it is working properly or not giving valid information to the implication,and invalid information to the application,functionality is a black box testing.

Functional testing is a type of black box testing that bases its test cases on the specifications of the software component under test. Functions are tested by feeding them input and examining the output, and internal program structure is rarely considered (Not like in white-box testing)

I would say all above the reasons are correct. Testing should takes place at user end(Different environment)testing should meet end user specification.

I totally disagree with "kurtz182" answer.

The answer is both B & D.

I didn't understand structural testing means, in functional testing to check the application functionality not only individual , but also different part(Combination) of the application functionality t...

Functionality testing is testing for requirements. So now tell us wouldn't you like to check if the application adheres to the requirements that client desires as they are paying for the entire project?

Functional testing and Functionality testing: Functionality testing is part of the functional testing to check the application behavior by giving some inputs, expected out come it should be as per the...

Functional testing means block box testing it defines to test the each and every functionality of the whole application

Functionality testing defines to test the selected functionality of the application

For testing;
Agile require more effort for regression testing and automation testing than Waterfall.

In Agile methodology we are repeating the cycle of develop and test.We started from FRD to do coding and then testing,small builds are coded and tested again if any new modifications are needed it ca...

Best ways to test during time crunch:

- Adhoc testing. FSD, BRD etc are available so life is easier.
- Scenario-based testing. Pick positive, common and negative scenarios and test UI, component functionality, etc while QA proceeds through a scenario.

Apart from prioritizing functionalities......

The black box testing technique for reduce number of test cases can help.

Sanity testing will be do after FRD is approved and testcases are designed

Once the FRD is ready...we will Review the Document...and start designing the test cases...

I'm guessing you mean backward compatibility testing?? Given multiple version releases, an application created on a new version should still work with the older versions making it backwards compatibl...

Backward testing means testing the application backward means if you find any defect while testing the application find out the route cause of that defect by checking the testcases properly written o...

Functional test cases tests the basic functionality of the product.For water heater we can have following test cases:1. Verify if it heats the water.2. Check if it satisfied the claims mentioned in sp...

Functional test cases can be mapped with functional requirement document with the help of Requirement traceability matrix (RTM).RTM is a document which shouws the mapping of test cases against require...

If the field accepts positive numeric values
1. Test for max length
2. Test for negative value
3. Test Boundatory values
4. Test Equivalance

If alpha numeric
1. Test for max length
2. Test for special char

One other possibility not mentioned above.On international web sites the character set may very well change, e.g. English in one region, Japanese in another.Test that only valid sequences are allowed,...

Min and Max length of Password is as per the functional spec/SRS. But ideally it is 6 to 18.Testing at boundary values is called Boundary Valuec Analysis. Testing has to be done for Values at 6, 6-1, ...

The minimum and maximum length of a password is defined in the application's business requirements or technical specifications.  It is generally 6 to 12 characters in length.  To test it...

Here are possible test cases:1. Verify 'string' text box accepts all alphanumeric characters as defined in specifications2. Verify upper limit value in 'float' text box3. Verify upper ...
