Functional testing vs non-functional testing

When it comes to software development, ensuring that the software meets its specifications and requirements is critical. To make sure of this, functional testing and non-functional testing are conducted.

Functional testing is when the software is tested against its functional requirements while non-functional testing verifies the performance and security of the software.

Both functional and non-functional tests are important in verifying the quality of a software product.

Functional testing helps to define a product’s features and checks whether they work as intended or not. Non-functional tests make sure that the system works correctly under different conditions, such as peak loads or high user traffic. It also helps to identify potential bugs before they become an issue for users.
