EXPERTISES
Functional Testing
Functional Testing is used to verify the functionality of the software application, whether the function is working according to the requirement specification. In functional testing, each function tested by giving the value, determining the output, and verifying the actual output with the expected value.
Test Automation
Test Automation is a software testing technique that performs using special automated testing software tools to execute the created test cases for the functional and non-functional testing.
Non-Functional Testing
Non-functional testing is a type of software testing to test non-functional parameters such as reliability, load test, performance and accountability of the software. The primary purpose of non-functional testing is to test the reading speed of the software system as per non-functional parameters.
