# Functional Testing The goal of functional testing is to focus on individual functions, testing them one by one. Often this goal is difficult to achieve on it's own. Possible Strategy: 1. Create a function list (an outline of functions in the app or in the release) * Initial function list can be an outline * Becomes more fully-detailed over time (if this is your primary technique) 2. Do this testing first before attempting more complex tests that involve several functions, might find blockers --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://guides.kenst.com/test-design/functional.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
