Software Testing
Functional Testers:
Role: Functional testers focus on verifying whether the software application behaves as expected based on its functional requirements. They ensure that the system meets the specified business logic and user expectations.
Responsibilities:
Test Scenarios: Create test scenarios based on functional requirements, use cases, and user stories.
Test Case Design: Develop detailed test cases to validate specific functionalities..
Test Execution: Execute test cases manually or using automated testing tools..
Regression Testing: Continuously verify that existing features remain functional after code changes. .
Defect Reporting: Identify and report defects (bugs) to the development team. .
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Collaborate with end-users to validate the software against real-world scenarios.

Skills:
Domain Knowledge: Understand the business domain and user requirements.
Attention to Detail: Thoroughly validate each feature.
Communication: Clearly document defects and collaborate with developers.
Test Automation: Basic knowledge of test automation tools.
Example: Verifying that a login page allows valid users to log in successfully.

Non-Functional Testers:
Role: Non-functional testers assess aspects of the software beyond its functional behavior. They focus on quality attributes such as performance, security, usability, and reliability.
Responsibilities:
Performance Testing: Evaluate system responsiveness, scalability, and resource usage under different loads.
Security Testing: Identify vulnerabilities, authentication flaws, and data protection issues.
Usability Testing: Assess user-friendliness, accessibility, and overall user experience.
Compatibility Testing: Verify software compatibility across browsers, devices, and platforms.
Reliability Testing: Ensure the system remains stable over extended periods.
Stress Testing: Assess how the system handles extreme conditions.

Skills:
Technical Proficiency: Understand tools for performance testing, security scanning, etc.
Analytical Thinking: Identify potential bottlenecks and risks.
Attention to Detail: Detect subtle issues related to non-functional requirements.
Collaboration: Work closely with developers, architects, and other stakeholders.
