Importance of Non-Functional Testing

This testing was missing just because of the attention that considers that it is not affecting the functionality of the system.

The non-functional requirements were not given proper attention during the earlier test cycles. Basically, this has changed now. Non-functional tests are now one of the most important things to consider all the application performances & security issues these days. This testing holds a greater impact on the applications when it occurs to the performance of the application under high user traffic. This testing ensures that your application occurs out to be stable & is able to handle the load under extreme conditions.

Since the name itself suggest that this testing concentrates upon the non-functional aspect of the application. So what can be the non-functional aspects? or Should I say that what can be the features of the functionality of the application? Well, written below are the answers to those:

• How does the application perform under normal circumstances?
• How does the application behave when multiple users login concurrently?
• Can the application handles out stress?
• How secure the application occurs out to be?
• Can the application recover through any kind of disaster?
• Can the application behave in a similar way within a different environment or OS?
• How easy is the port of application within a different system?
• Are the documents/user manual made available with the application easy to understand?

The list turns on to move on. However, the point is that not all of the features contribute to the quality of the application? The answer occurs out to be “yes”. Their features are equally important. Imagine that an application meets all the user requirements in a perfect manner, However, some unauthorized user easily goes & cracks the data that the user enters in the application, the application dies when more than 5BB of any file gets uploaded. So would you say that the application occurs out to be good at quality?

Purpose!

The sole purpose of this type of testing occurs out to ensure that the non-functional aspects of the application get tested & the application works out amazingly well in context with the same. The purpose occurs out to cover the testing of all the characteristics of the application that helps out to provide an application that meets out the business expectation.

Advantages held with Non-Functional Testing

• It covers the testing that cannot be covered in functional testing.
• It ensures that the application runs efficiently as well as is reliable enough.
• It ensures the perfect security of the application.

How you can capture Non-Functional Requirements?

While our team at InstaaCoders performs testing, the focus is majorly upon functional testing that tests the functionality of the product. However Non-Functional test is as important as functional testing & its requirement must be taken into consideration right from the inception of a particular product. So, make sure that you shake hands with us for getting the most flexible as well as smooth services.
