Functional testing is a quality assurance practice that verifies a software application behaves according to its specified requirements by testing specific functions or features against expected outcomes, without regard to internal code structure. QA engineers and testers use techniques like unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and user acceptance testing to check inputs and outputs against expected results. It contrasts with non-functional testing, which evaluates performance, security, or usability.
