Requirement Based Functional Testing

Function (Integration) test is usually the first test phase that a test organization is responsible for during any given release. Requirements based Function Test is one approach to Function (Integration) test - it is a powerful and effective testing approach, which will significantly reduce the number of undetected defects (faults) being released into production. The premise is that a well-formulated set of functional requirements give the Test Designers (see .Testing and The Role of a Test Designer Tester.) a definitive bases for test case design.


What is Function Test?


"The objective of function test is to measure the quality of the functional (business) components of the system". Tests verify that the system behaves correctly from the user / business perspective and functions according to the requirements, models, storyboards, or any other design paradigm used to specify the application. The function test must determine if each component or business event: performs in accordance to the specifications, responds correctly to all conditions that may be presented by incoming events / data, moves data correctly from one business event to the next (including data stores), and that business events are initiated in the order required to meet the business objectives of the system.
