Partitioning - Functional Decomposition
Functional decomposition of a system (or partitioning) is the breakdown of a system into its functional components or functional areas. Another group in the organization may take responsibility for the functional decomposition (or model) of the system but the testing organization should still review this deliverable for completeness before accepting it into the test organization.

If the functional decomposition or partitions have not been defined or are deemed insufficient then the testing organization will have to take responsibility for creating and maintaining the partitions. There are several commercial, shareware, and freeware products available that aid in the functional decomposition of a system and the formal delivery of the functional partitions.
