The main objective of functional testing is checking the:

- functional “cor…”
- functional “app…”
- completeness
- correctness
- appropriateness.
Non-functional testing evaluates “a…“ other than functional characteristics of a “ “ or “s…“.

The main objective of non-functional testing is checking the n…
non-functional quality characteristics.
The ISO / IEC 25010 standard provides the following classification of the non-functional quality characteristics:
- per…
- “com…”
- “usa…” (also known as i… )
- “rel…”
- “sec…”
- “mai…”
- “por…” (also known as “ “)
- “saf…”
- Performance efficiency
- compatibility
- usability
interaction capability - reliability
- security
- maintainability
- portability
flexibility - safety
It is sometimes appropriate for non-functional testing to start e… (e.g. as part of “ “ or c… ).
