Functional Testing: A type of software testing that validates the software system against the functional requirements/specifications. The purpose of functional tests is to test each function of the software application by providing appropriate input and verifying the output against the Functional requirements. This testing mainly involves black box testing and is not concerned about the source code of the application. It includes testing of user commands, data manipulation, searches, business processes, user screens, and integrations. Functional testing ensures that the application is behaving according to the intended functionality.
