Functional Testing Overview
Before automating functional tests, identify the scenarios you wish to cover. Test scripts are created to handle these scenarios.

Checkpoints assess whether your website meets expected criteria:
- Page Checkpoints: Verify page or frame sources, links, URLs, and HTML structure.
- Text Checkpoints: Ensure specific text appears or doesn't appear in designated areas.
- Web Object Checkpoints: Confirm properties of elements like HTML INPUT fields.
- Database Checkpoints: Validate database content.
Running and Modifying Scripts

Automating repetitive tests across numerous scenarios greatly enhances productivity. Functional testing tools empower small teams to achieve much more, making them a vital part of the development and deployment process.
