Difference between System Testing and Integration Testing in Table

Integration Testing

When individual software modules are combined and tested as a group than it is Integration Testing and before software people doing integration testing a system must be unit tested before.

System Testing Definition

This definition of System Testing is given by “Hetzel” and according to him the mechanism of testing a completely integrated system to verify/ensure that it meets the defined means specified requirements is known as System Testing.
So outcome of author definition is that in system testing we test the complete system as a whole.

Difference between System Testing and Integration Testing in Tabular form

But apart from that before you take a look at differences first of all take a brief look at above than go for differences.

             System Testing
              Integration Testing
1. In system testing we test the complete system as a whole to check whether the system is properly working or not means as per the requirements or not.
1. In integration testing we test the modules to see whether they are integrating properly or not by combining the modules and tested as a group.
2. In system testing testers always have to concentrate on both functional and non functional testing like performance, load, stress, security, recovery testing and so on.
2. In integration testing testers have to concentrate on functional testing means main focus on how two modules are combined and tested as a group.
3. For performing this testing system must be integrated tested.
3. For performing this testing system must be unit tested before.
4. It starts from the requirements specifications.
4. It starts from the interface specification.
5. System Testing does not test the visibility of code.
5. Integration Testing test the visibility of the integration structure.
6. It does not require any frame means scaffolding.
6. It requires some frame means scaffolding.
7 In System Testing Tester pays attention to the system functionality.
7. In Integration Testing Tester pays attention to the integration among modules.
8. It pays attention to the system functionality.
8. It pays attention to the Integration among modules.
9. It is always only the kind of Black Box Testing.
9. It is a kind of both White Box Testing and Black Box Testing.

Note

In system testing we test the both functional as well as non functional testing of software testing and before performing System Testing system must be integrated tested before.

Difference Between Verification And Validation With Example?

Verification and Validation example is also given just below to this table.                Verification               Validation 1. Verification is a static practice of verifying documents, design, code and program. 1. Validation is a dynamic mechanism of validating and testing the actual product. 2. It does not involve executing the code. 2. It always involves executing the code. 3. It is human based checking of documents and files. 3. It is computer based execution of program. 4.  Verification uses methods like inspections, reviews, walkthroughs, and Desk-checking etc. 4.  Validation uses methods like black box (functional)  testing, gray box testing, and white box (structural) testing etc. 5.  Verification  is to check whether the softwar...

Regression Testing with Example and Strategies

Regression Testing is done to ensure that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the modules and also the functionality of the same module. In short you can say regression testing  is always done to verify that modified code does not break the existing functionality of the application and works within the requirements of the system. Regression Testing Example  For Example there are three Modules in the Project named Admin Module, Personal Information, and Employment Module and suppose bug occurs in the Admin Module like on Admin Module existing User is not able to login with valid login credentials so this is the bug.  Now Testing team sends the above - mentioned Bug to the Development team to fix it and when development team fixes the Bug and hand over to Testing team than testing team checks that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the other modules (Admin, PI, Employment) and also the functionality of ...

What Is Functional Testing Explain It with Example?

Functional testing means testing the application against business requirements. Functional testing is executed using the functional specifications given by the client or by the design specifications according to use cases given by the design team. Role of functional testing is to validating the behavior of an application. Functional testing is more important because it always verifies that your system is fixed for release. The functional tests define your working system in a useful manner. In functional testing tester has to validate the application to see that all specified requirements of the client whatever we have said in SRS or BRS have been incorporated or not. Functional testing  is always concentrating on customer requirements and whereas the Non-Functional testing is always concentrating on customer expectations. Functional and Non Functional Test Cases Functional test cases target business goals and non functional test cases target performance, resource...
