Integration Testing Practice Exam

About Integration Testing
Integration testing is the phase in software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. Integration testing is conducted to evaluate the compliance of a system or component with specified functional requirements. It occurs after unit testing and before validation testing.

System Integration Testing (SIT) is performed to verify the interactions between the modules of a software system. It deals with the verification of the high and low-level software requirements specified in the Software Requirements Specification/Data and the Software Design Document.

Why is Integration Testing important?
In Software Engineering, System Integration Testing is important because,
•    It helps to detect Defect early
•    Earlier feedback on the acceptability of the individual module will be available
•    Scheduling of Defect fixes is flexible, and it can be overlapped with development
•    Correct data flow
•    Correct control flow
•    Correct timing
•    Correct memory usage
•    Correct with software requirements

Who should take the Integration Testing Exam?
•    Software testing or QA professionals
•    Anyone who wants to assess their software testing skills
•    Software testing or QA managers and senior executives
•    Professionals working in outsourced companies responsible for software testing or QA
•    Software testing or QA consultants
•    Students
