    TESTING
    SYSTEM TEST PHASE

    Objective of the System Test Phase


    In this test phase, product features are fully tested as well
    as system-wide capabilities as a production-like. The tests
    are focused on ensuring that the system operates in conformity
    with the product and feature specifications.

    System Test Exit Criteria


    System testing must successfully complete before it meets
    the system test exit criteria (100% system test case
    execution with the product quality requirements)
    The system test report and test results must be made
    available to the Acceptance Test group for inspection

    Responsibility for the System Test Phase


    The System Test Group is responsible for ensuring that this
    test phase is carried out. In some instances, the System
    Test Group may be augmented by a designated set of
    designers

    ACCEPTANCE TEST PHASE

    Objective of the Acceptance Test Phase


    Acceptance testing is focused upon determining the product’s
    readiness to enter the marketplace. Acceptance test will simulate
    typical customer scenarios in order to ensure that the product
    operates acceptably in that environment. Testing in this phase is
    not expected to uncover any significant technical problems.
