Functional testing is one of the final steps before a software application goes live, and it’s designed to ensure critical user paths are operating correctly. It’s a kind of black box testing that doesn’t evaluate the underlying code of the application, but instead tests whether a specific input leads to an expected output in the user interface (UI).
In March, Snowflake continued to enhance its capabilities around data programmability and data pipeline development, with the Snowpark API and stored procedures for Java now in public preview, schema detection now generally available, and the Snowflake SQL API generally available. In addition, Snowflake’s user interface, Snowsight, is generally available. Not to mention an expanded selection of new partners to choose from in Snowflake Data Marketplace.
