Functional and Non-Functional Test
TestFyra Offers below services related to Telecom Functional and Non-Functional Test :
Functional Test-: Functional testing demonstrates " WHAT " the service's functions are and what input and output are validated from the user perspective. The functional test generally covers below areas related to telecom networks :
3G/CS/LTE/VoLTE/VoWIFI voice MO/MT call
Supplementary services – CF, CW, MPTY, VM
CS SMS, IMS SMS, MMS, GPRS, data connectivity
SIM/eSIM registration and variance
Telco node interface connectivity
CDR, Charging, Billing, OSS, BSS testing
Roaming Testing – Inbound, outbound, unilateral, bilateral, IREG, TADIG
Non-Functional Test-: Non-Functional testing relates to HOW well the system performs , behaves, and provides insight into the system's quality under specific inputs. The non-functional test generally covers below areas related to telecom networks :
Security
Security testing is to check whether the application or the product is secure or not. Is the system vulnerable to attacks? Can anyone login into the application without any authority . It is a process to determine that an information system protects data and maintains functionality as intended. Penetration testing, vulnerability testing, security assessment provides under security test delivery.
Availability
Availability is the degree to which a system or component is operational and accessible when required for use . Availability testing designed is on various factors such as network, input format, output format, login credentials, accessibility types etc.
Back up
Backup testing verifies the effectiveness of system features, access the system data and related databases when needed and restore as per requirement. In disaster recovery , backup and restore are significant processes.
Capacity
Capacity testing ensures the throughput transactions can be processed as per the requirements and validation of overload mechanisms.
Configuration
Configuration test checks application validation many configurations highlighting weakness areas/ single points of failures within the configuration.
Performance
Performance is the degree to which a system or component accomplishes its designated functions within given constraints , such as speed , accuracy or memory usage. Performance testing touches areas such as Load / Stress/ Volume / Scalability Testing.
Robustness
Robustness is defined as the degree to which a system operates correctly in the presence of exceptional inputs or stressful environmental conditions.
Recovery
Recovery is to check how quickly the application can recover after it has gone through any type of crash or hardware failure etc. This can be a forced failure of the software application / network in various ways to verify that recovery is properly performed.
Reliability
Reliability is about exercising an application to discover and remove failures before deploying the system Reliability testing aims to determine product reliability and whether the software meets the customer's reliability.
Maintainability
Maintainability defines how easy it is to maintain the system . This means how easy it is to analyse, change and test the application or product.
Stability
Stability testing measures its capability to scale up in terms of non-functional capabilities like load supported, the number of transactions, data volume etc.
Compatibility
Compatibility is testing the application or product built with the computing environment. It tests whether the application or the software product built is compatible with the system hardware , operating system , database or other systems software or not.
