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
