Why this program matters

  • Without mastering functional software testing, 70% of critical bugs go undetected and explode in production, generating project delays of up to 40%.

  • A company loses an average of 25,000 € per undetected major incident, with correction costs multiplied by 100 after go-live.

  • These gaps expose project managers and teams to repeated failures, eroding customer trust and threatening jobs and business growth.

  • Every quarter without in-depth expertise accumulates cumulative losses of 100,000 € and weakens competitiveness.

Functional Software Testing curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Introduction to Functional Testing and Fundamentals

Presentation of functional testing: definition, objectives, distinctions with other types of tests. Place in the software lifecycle (V-model, Agile, DevOps). Typology of functional tests: unit tests, integration tests, validation tests, acceptance tests. Roles, missions and responsibilities of stakeholders (business owner, engineering team, testers, users, QA). Summary on quality stakes and risks related to poor functional coverage.

Module 2 : Methodologies and Techniques for Designing Functional Tests

Functional requirements and needs analysis. Design techniques: equivalence partitioning, boundary values, decision tables, state transitions, exploratory tests. Practical workshop: writing several test cases from a specifications document. Exercises on reviewing and improving scenarios, business-oriented design, management of functional anomalies.

Module 3 : Industrialize, Execute and Automate Functional Tests

Organization and management of a test campaign (planning, test environment, data sets, version management). Tracking, traceability and reporting of tests (tools, dashboards, coverage metrics, anomaly management). Introduction to functional test automation, selection criteria, limits and pitfalls to avoid. Demonstrations on key tools (JIRA/Xray, TestLink, Squash TM, Selenium IDE). Workshop: simulated execution, identification, declaration and follow-up of functional anomalies.

How Functional Software Testing skills are assessed

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your Functional Software Testing training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
