Functional Testing: Testing the application against business requirements. Functional testing is done using the functional specifications provided by the client or by using the design specifications like use cases provided by the design team.

Functional Testing covers:

• Unit Testing
• Smoke testing / Sanity testing
• Integration Testing (Top Down,Bottom up Testing)
• Interface & Usability Testing
• System Testing
• Regression Testing
• Pre User Acceptance Testing(Alpha & Beta)
• User Acceptance Testing
• White Box & Black Box Testing
• Globalization & LocalizationTesting
  

Non-Functional Testing: Testing the application against client's and performance requirement. Non-Functioning testing is done based on the requirements and test scenarios defined by the client.

Non-Functional Testing covers:

• Load and Performance Testing
• Ergonomics Testing
• Stress & Volume Testing
• Compatibility & Migration Testing
• Data Conversion Testing
• Security / Penetration Testing
• Operational Readiness Testing

比如数据迁移，就要测试是否所有数据都迁移成功了。具体方法是检查两端的数据库的数据，比较表的个数，记录数，某个字段的汇总数字。

文件复制的测试和数据迁移的测试类似。

还有就是可以分成 Test 和Prod 两个环境，测试可以在Test环境下进行。

安全测试，可以通过使用非授权用户登录，匿名用户登录之类的操作，就是设计一些和系统设计情况相反的一些操作来做。

性能/可靠性测试，可以编写脚本模拟进行压力测试，比如编写一些循环，或者网数据库里倒入数据的脚本，运行这些脚本，并监视系统资源占用的情况。

还可以通过系统Log文件来查看测试的情况，Windows 2008有性能监测应用来检测具体的应用，类似Log文件，但是是图形化的仪表盘。

网站的死链接测试，也属于这类测试，这个有专门的软件来一个一个的找。
