Functional Testing sometimes called black box testing because no knowledge of the internal logic of the system is used to develop testcases.for example ,if a certain function key should produce a specific result when pressed, a functional tet validates this expectation by pressing the function key and observing the result.when conducting functional tests, you will use validation techniques almost exclusively.
Functional tesing advantages:
simulates actual system usage.
makes no system structure assumptions.

Disadvantages
Potential of missing logical errors insoftware
possibilitry of redundant testing.


Functionality Testing:
Its part of Functional testing. Giving the input and checking the output. Testing the application against specifications.

RE: Functional and functionality testing
There is no difference between Functional and functionality testing. They are having same meaning To Test the functionality of the system.

RE: Functional and functionality testing
Functional testing is a process of testing the 'Functionality of a feature' in a application. That means; we are testing whether the features (like text box option button command buttons check box etc) are working (or) doing its intended operation (pre-defined function).

RE: Functional and functionality testing

Functional testing is nothing but whether the given function is working or not as per the specifications
Ex: field validation Navigation etc.

Functionality Testing is nothing but to check whether our application is equal to customer requirements or not

Here we will do lot more tests
Ex: Inter system Testing
Error handling testing
