System Testing (ST) is a black box testing technique performed to evaluate the complete system. the system’s compliance against specified requirements. In System testing, the functionalities of the system are tested from an end-to-end perspective.
System Testing is usually carried out by a team that is independent of the development team in order to measure the quality of the system unbiased. It includes both functional and Non Functional testing.
System testing is 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 that is very close to the production environment where the application will be deployed.
