System testing is an activity conducted on a completed integrated system to evaluate the system's performance with its specified requirement. The system testing takes records of all integrated components that have passed the test.

System testing is done after the integration testing. The main purpose of system testing is to verify the expected performance of the system. System testing is performed on the whole system in the context of either functional requirement specifications or system requirement specifications.

System testing also includes the design of the products. There are three types of approaches to testing a system they are; Destructive testing, non-destructive testing, and fault injection.

System testing is a level of assessment that involves a fully cohesive software product. The purpose of a system test is to evaluate end to end system specifications. Typically, the software is only one variable of a more extensive computer-based system.

The software is interfaced with other software/hardware systems. System examination is a series of various tests that entail exercising the full computer-based system. It pertains to integrated applications to check how components interact with one another and the system as a whole.

The other objective of system testing is to verify thorough testing of every input in the application to check for the desired outputs. Testing of the user’s experience with the application is common.

When you say system testing, this is a type of testing that is conducted to make sure that the system itself is working according to how it is supposed to. There are different requirements that the system must undergo and through testing, all of these requirements will be properly checked and considered.

If by system testing, some of the requirements are not met, there are changes that will be done to make sure that the system will perform satisfactorily. Take note that system testing will be composed of both functional and non−functional testing. The system should be stable enough and thorough to be able to perform the tasks that it is required to do.

System testing can be described as a kind of testing that is conducted on a whole integrated system in order to assess the compliance of the system with its specified requirements. System testing takes all of the integrated components that must have passed the integration testing as its input.

The reason why integration testing is done is so as to detect if any inconsistencies lie between integrated units called assemblages. System testing works toward detecting the defects both within the system as a whole and within the assemblages. The actual outcome is the produced or observed behavior when a system or component is tested.

The activity of the system testing is carried out on the entire system either in the context of the system requirement specification (SRS) or functional requirement specifications, or both. System testing tests the design, the believed expectations, and behavior of the customer as well.

System testing is performed on a totally integrated system to assess the system according to its specified requirements. The actual result of system testing is the conduct presented or observed when a component or system is tested. The level of testing that validates the comprehensive and fully integrated software product. The purpose of the system test is to assess the end-to-end system specifications. Typically, the software is only one variable of a more extensive computer-based system. Ultimately the software is interfaced with other software or hardware systems. System testing is a string of different tests whose principal purpose is to exercise the full computer-based system. System testing is done by a professional testing agent or the completed software product before it is marketed.
