What is difference between system and functional testing?

Answer Posted / amit

Functional testing comes under system testing.
Functional Testing : To test the software according to the
prgrammable knowledge of the software. To test the output
according to the requirements. To tset something what it
supposed to do.
System Testing : To test the whole system by integrating it.
It is of two types. 1- Functional 2- Non functional
User acceptance testing, usability testing, localization
testing etc. are coming under functional testing; but
security testing, penetration testing, load, stress, volume
testing etc. are coming under non functional testing.
So functional testing is a subset of system testing.
