System Testing

What is System Testing?


System testing is a type of testing where the application as a whole is tested for
its compliance to functional and non-functional requirements. It is carried out by
the QA team after the completion of integration testing and before the nal
acceptance testing. Since in system testing the whole system is tested end to
end and the knowledge of coding or internal architecture is not required. Hence,
system testing comes under Black-box Testing.

Why do we need System Testing?


The system is tested as a whole in this phase of testing. Even after
successful unit and integration testing, many complex scenarios may
have issues undiscovered by earlier testing phases. System testing helps
in uncovering those defects.

Both the functional as well as non-functional requirements are tested for


the whole system are tested for the rst time in this phase.
The testing is carried on the product and environment that closely
matches the nal product and production environment. Hence, successful
system testing brings a sense of con dence in the nal delivered product.

Types of System Testing-


As stated earlier, in system testing both the functional and non-functional
requirements of the system are evaluated. Hence, system testing involves
different types of testing techniques that evaluates the whole system and its
various attributes. The different type of system testing is- Functional testing,
Performance testing, Usability testing, Reliability testing, Security testing,
Scalability testing, Installation testing, etc.
