Our Approach to Functional Testing
We set off at the very beginning of the software development lifecycle. The testing process covers 3 main stages:
1
Requirements analysis and clarification
Our specialists seamlessly integrate into your project team. The testing team works closely with BAs, developers and stakeholders to prevent unclear requirements in the specification.
Outcomes: the testing team dives into the project scope and specifics and drafts the test strategy.
2
Test planning and test design
- Drafting test plan. The Test Lead drafts a detailed test plan that is reviewed by stakeholders and approved.
- Test design. The testing team writes test cases/checklists according to the test plan and unite them into a test case document. Each requirement in the specification is transformed into a test case, so tests cover as much of specified behavior as possible.
- Prep measures. ScienceSoft’s testing team sets up a well-balanced strategy with an optimal mix of manual and automated testing.
Outcomes: the test plan, the test case document, the test environment and the test data are created and approved.
3
Stabilization
- Test execution. Relying on the test case document and the test plan, our testing team tests the product using the prepared test data and test environment. For every build, the team runs testing according to the planned test level.
- Defect reporting. Our testing team submits all the defects found to your preferred defect tracking system. Then we run exploratory testing powered by the team’s knowledge and experience to make sure no bug was missed.
- Test reporting. Our testing team reports the results based on the agreed schedule. Test progress reports include:
- Executed tests
- Results
- Defects found
- Defect validation. When the defects are fixed, the testing team validates them to make sure they are gone.
- Regression testing. When the defects are validated, the testing team runs regression testing to ensure that the adjacent areas of the application are fully functional. Usually a complete module or a functional block is retested.
Outcomes: the test summary report is prepared thus allowing you to get a full view of your product quality.

Actions Speak Louder
With our functional testing services, we have helped industry leaders, including IBM and Tieto, to get a top-quality product within time and budget in the following way:
- Avoiding expensive rework (500–1,000 man-hours) via detecting system bottlenecks at early project stages.
- Reducing time between releases and developers’ idle time during testing by 15–20%.
- Saving up to 700 man-hours per iteration thanks to automated testing.
...But Words Also Matter
ScienceSoft’s team has carried out manual functional testing of our products and cross-browser testing for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. They also created test cases for regression testing of certain modules of the products. We appreciate ScienceSoft’s scrupulousness and proactive approach – the team has regularly suggested improvements to the products’ functionality based on the found issues.
We cooperated with ScienceSoft’s test automation team to validate and re-validate the performance of our partner’s ecommerce store. We recommend ScienceSoft as a quality-centered software testing partner. The collaboration with ScienceSoft helped stabilize the store’s performance and ensure its full compliance with the performance requirements.

COO / Global Managing Director
I hired ScienceSoft to perform stress testing of our software. The team at ScienceSoft built a solid platform for stressing out servers, and it helped us uncover a variety of bugs and revisions that needed to built to our code. The team at ScienceSoft is professional and organized in every way possible. I look forward to working with this team again.
