    Re: Functional test cases and retesting effort doubts

    Functional testing is concerned about external behaviour of software e.g. input is properly accepted, output is correctly produced and integrity of external information is maintained. Test cases are based on high level description of software requirement. In this approach of testing, tester sees application as a black box means tester is unawared and unconcerned about internal structure of program.

    Re: Functional test cases and retesting effort doubts

    Hi
    Functional Testing includes the functionality of testing where we do testing 80% in system testing

    in this we write test cases based on 3 scenarios
    1.Businees Test case -80%
    2.Input Domain test case -15%
    3.User Interface test cases 4%
    4.Gui based (if required )- 1%

    1.Business test case
    We should study the use case of functional specs
    and
    1.we should identify the entry condition what the functionality can be done on
    2.the exit criteria (example :Like Logout)
    3.find the alterantive condition if any for that.
    4.the stop criteria.

    repeat this criterias on use case of functional specs
    and start writing the cases as for business test case
    2.Input domain
    read attributes
    find critical among them
    and create data matrix for them
    3.user interface
    alignment,font..etc
    4.gui based
    optional...



    Retesting :- Doing testing the application with different types of data
    and also passing the number of parameters for the application
    ex:- datadriven test

    hi balaji
    i think people tried to a lot to answer your questions but in vain....
    answer to the first question is d) developers perspective as functional testing is done to find the problem with the system if there is any..however we can insert business scenarios in our test wares.....it is more inclined towards the finctionality of the system......now whether the system has met business requirements or not would be checked under UAT...


    and answer to the second question depends upon that at what stage of the testing life cycle the effort estimation is being carried out...
    usually we consider it at the time of putting our proposal writing

    and at that time it may be difficult for the person who is estimating to know about the regression schedules and discussion with the developers...so metrics from the past similar projects can work as a boon at that time

    hope that solves your problem...

    Thumbs up Re: Functional test cases and retesting effort doubts

    Functional testing is done according to Design and regression testing done when we have made any enhancement or fixed any bug.
