System Testing Practice Exam

About System Testing
System Testing is a type of software testing that is performed on a complete integrated system to evaluate the compliance of the system with the corresponding requirements.

In system testing, integration testing passed components is taken as input. The goal of integration testing is to detect any irregularity between the units that are integrated together. System testing detects defects within both the integrated units and the whole system. The result of system testing is the observed behavior of a component or a system when it is tested.

System Testing is carried out on the whole system in the context of either system requirement specifications or functional requirement specifications or in the context of both. System testing tests the design and behavior of the system and also the expectations of the customer. It is performed to test the system beyond the bounds mentioned in the software requirements specification (SRS).

Why is System Testing important?
System testing is important, as
•    In Software Development Life Cycle the System Testing is perform as the first level of testing where the System is tested as a whole.
•    In this step of testing check if system meets functional requirement or not.
•    It enables you to test, validate and verify both the Application Architecture and Business requirements.
•    The application/System is tested in an environment that particularly resembles the effective production environment where the application/software will be lastly deployed.

Who should take the System 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
