What is System Testing?

  • In system testing the behavior of whole system/product is tested as defined by the scope of the development project or product.
  • It may include tests based on risks and/or requirement specifications, business process, use cases, or other high level descriptions of system behavior, interactions with the operating systems, and system resources.
  • System testing is most often the final test to verify that the system to be delivered meets the specification and its purpose.
  • System testing is carried out by specialists testers or independent testers.
  • System testing should investigate both functional and non-functional requirements of the testing.

What is Software Testing?

Software testing is a process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding the  software bugs . It can also be stated as the  process of  validating  and  verifying   that a software program or application or product: Meets the business and technical requirements that guided it’s design and development Works as expected Can be implemented with the same characteristic. Let’s break the definition of Software testing into the following parts: 1)   Process:   Testing is a process rather than a single activity. 2)    All Life Cycle Activities:  Testing is a process that’s take place throughout the  Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) . The process of designing tests early in the life cycle can help to prevent defects from being introduced in the code. Sometimes it’s referred as  “verifying the test basis via the  test design ” . The  test basis  ...

What is a Defect Life Cycle or a Bug Lifecycle in software testing? Defect life cycle is a cycle which a defect goes through during its lifetime. It starts when defect is found and ends when a defect is closed, after ensuring it’s not reproduced. Defect life cycle is related to the bug found during testing. The bug has different states in the Life Cycle. The Life cycle of the bug can be shown diagrammatically as f ollows: Bug or defect life cycle includes following steps or status: New:  When a defect is logged and posted for the first time. It’s state is given as new. Assigned:  After the tester has posted the bug, the lead of the tester approves that the bug is genuine and he assigns the bug to corresponding developer and the developer team. It’s state given as assigned. Open:  At  this state the developer has started analyzing and working on the defect fix. Fixed:  When developer makes necessary code changes and verifies the changes th...
