Title: How does SIT and UAT testing differ?
What
is System Integration Testing (SIT)?
Before understanding SIT, it is better to
first know a little bit about system integration. As the name suggests, system
integration is a set of phases, wherein incorporation of various components are
done into a single unit and then these units are checked in the integration
testing process. The group of interaction between components is referred to as
integration and then these modules interaction being tested is known as
integration testing.
When it comes to SIT, it is
considered as a combination of Integration and System testing. The testing that
is being conducted on the absolute integrated components to check for system
compliance with specified requirements on non-functional and functional
elements is referred to as System testing.
What is User Acceptance Testing (UAT)?
It is a testing method that is
performed by end-users in a real-time environment. Users will test the product
and understand its functionality, performance , usability, scalability aspects
etc. Post testing, the team obtains the feedback from the users and then ascertain
whether the software product or application needs to be further modified or
necessary changes needs to be done accordingly.
UAT does the following validations:
·
The system requirement specifications need to be
fulfilled by the developed system
·
The performance has been achieved by the system
as documented in the system requirement statement.
Differences between SIT and UAT:
System Integration Testing |
User Acceptance Testing |
Interfacing between modules are referred |
The requirement’s are focused from the user’s point of view |
Developers and testers are responsible for carrying out the testing
process |
Customers and end-users are responsible for carrying out the testing
process |
Problems like control flow, data flow etc., are taken into consideration
|
Non-working features or functionality issues are taken into
consideration according to the user requirements |
The sub units that have been
integrated are checked |
The whole software product or application is checked from a design,
usability, performance and functionality perspective |
As soon as the system is assembled, the process of SIT is initiated |
It is conducted just before the product or application is being
released |
