System Testing

System testing is a process of verifying the end behavior of a software application. System testing finds any errors, spaces, and missing requirements that could affect the software’s functionality. This is usually done after all the tests are completed, it’s important to test the software before releasing it to users. System testing main goals are to reduce risks, prevent defects, verify the design, and validate the system. System testing is an important step in ensuring the software is of great quality before it goes live. Addressing and identifying the errors or issues before making the software live can reduce any risks and make sure that it works perfectly for the users. Verifying the functionality of the completed system will help determine if it meets the requirements specified for that system. This is the best way to prevent any defects, errors, and missing requirements. System testing is also used to check if the system has been designed correctly and follows all the specifications. The process of verifying the accuracy and completeness of the system is the main objective of system testing. It’s to provide confidence that the system meets all of its requirements and will run as expected.

There are different types of system testing to look out for and plan for such as setting up the environment for the test case, creating a test case, creating test data, and running the test case. It’s important to make sure that the environment is set up so that you can write test cases by making sure that it has the right tools and frameworks that will be needed. When creating the test cases it’s important to make sure that the test case has all the necessary details about what the test case is testing for as well as how it will test it. The test data is created in thought of the inputs and outputs for the test case. While creating the test data it’s important to cover all of the critical fields and that nothing is left out. When running the test cases you want to make sure that it puts out the correct output, it should show if it passed or failed. I chose this topic because system testing is important to make sure that our system meets the requirements and runs without any problems. We started working on test cases recently so I thought getting more information on system testing would benefit our skills and any questions that anyone might have.
