It focuses on ensuring that the system's features, capabilities, and interactions with different components work as expected. Functional testing is typically performed by providing the software with input data and then checking the output data to see if it matches the expected results. This can be done manually or using automated testing tools. -## Types of Funtional Testing +## Types of functional Testing ![types of testing](../../../../../static/img/glossary/ft.png) - There are many different types of functional testing, including: ### 1.
