funktionsafprøvning

Funktionsafprøvning, often translated as functional testing, is a software testing method that verifies the functionality of a software system against its specifications. It is a type of black-box testing, meaning the internal structure or code of the software is not known to the tester. The focus is solely on the inputs and outputs of the system.

The primary goal of funktionsafprøvning is to identify defects in the software by executing specific test cases that cover the intended functionalities. These test cases are designed based on requirements, specifications, and user stories. They aim to confirm that the software performs its intended operations correctly under various conditions, including normal operation, boundary conditions, and error scenarios.

Common types of funktionsafprøvning include unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing. Unit testing focuses on individual components, while integration testing checks the interaction between different modules. System testing evaluates the complete integrated system, and acceptance testing is performed by end-users to ensure the software meets their needs.

The process typically involves planning test cases, executing them, comparing the actual results with expected results, and reporting any discrepancies or defects found. Successful funktionsafprøvning leads to improved software quality, reliability, and user satisfaction. It is a crucial step in the software development lifecycle to ensure that the delivered product functions as intended.
