system testing
<testing> (Or "application testing") A type of testing to confirm that
all code modules work as specified, and that the system as a whole performs
adequately on the platform on which it will be deployed.
System testing should be performed by testers who are trained to plan, execute,
and report on application and system code. They should be aware of scenarios
that might not occur to the end user, like testing for null, negative, and
format inconsistent values. A tester should be able to repeat the steps that
caused an error.
