Functional Testing
Developers should learn and use functional testing to ensure software reliability and user satisfaction, particularly during quality assurance phases or when building applications with critical user workflows
Pros
- +It is essential for validating features like login systems, payment processing, and form submissions in web, mobile, or desktop applications, helping to catch bugs before deployment and reduce post-release issues
- +Related to: unit-testing, integration-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
