System Testing

System Testing:

Once all the components are integrated, the application as a whole is tested rigorously to see that it meets Quality Standards. This type of testing is performed by a specialized testing team.

                                    or

Testing the behavior of the whole software/system as defined in software requirements specification(SRS) is known as system testing, its main focus is to verify that the customer requirements are fulfilled.

System testing is done after integration testing is complete. System testing should test functional and non functional requirements of the software.

System testing is so important because of the following reasons:

• System Testing is the first step in the Software Development Life Cycle, where the application is tested as a whole.

• The application is tested thoroughly to verify that it meets the functional and technical specifications.

• The application is tested in an environment which is very close to the production environment where the application will be deployed.
• System Testing enables us to test, verify and validate both the business requirements as well as the Applications Architecture.
