    EDUCATION SERVICES

    Objectives
    After completing this chapter, you will be able to: Understand functional testing. Document the user steps of a business transaction. Identify the application under test and its environment. Understand the QuickTest Professional user interface. Prepare the test environment to utilize QuickTest Professional effectively.

    Understanding Functional Testing


    Functional testing, which is also known as black box testing, is a quality assurance process. You use functional testing to verify the functionality of the application under test (AUT). Functional testing enables you to verify the following features of AUT: Accuracy Reliability Predictability Security

    Approaches for Functional testing


    You use the following approaches for functional testing: Manual testing Automated testing

    Benefits of Automated Testing


    Automated testing offers the following advantages that are not offered by manual testing: Reusability

    Consistency
    Productivity

    Overall QuickTest Workflow

    Prepare To Record

    Application Under Test

    Use Case: Create a Flight Reservation Order
