Which term describes the process of verifying that the developed system works as intended?

  1. Compliance

  2. Structural System

  3. Functional Testing

  4. Operational Testing

The correct answer is: Structural System

The process of verifying that the developed system works as intended is best described by functional testing. This type of testing focuses specifically on the functionalities of the system, ensuring that each feature operates according to the specified requirements. Functional testing assesses the system's capabilities to fulfill user needs and checks that it behaves as expected under various conditions. While compliance testing refers to ensuring that the system meets regulatory and policy requirements, and operational testing often addresses the performance and reliability of the system in an operational environment, neither of these options captures the essence of verifying intended functionality. Structural systems are more focused on the internal workings and architecture of the system rather than its intended operational behavior. Thus, functional testing is the most suitable term for the verification of a system's intended operations.
