ABSTRACT

System testing is a way of attempting to prove that the system doesn’t meet its requirements specifications and cannot be used. It can consume as much as half the testing resources.

It answers two big questions:

1. Have we got sufficient coverage of the system? (See section 2.8 and section 15.4 for ways of answering this.)

2. Is the build fit to be released? See section 4.6.5 for ways of answering this.
