A Software System Testing Process is a system testing process to ensure that software systems meet specified requirements and are free of defects.
- Context:
- It can (typically) begin with Requirement Analysis to understand the objectives and criteria for the software.
- It can (often) involve Test Planning where strategies and resources are defined.
- It can (often) include Software Defect Reporting (of software defects) to document any issues found during testing.
- It can include Test Design to create detailed test cases and scripts.
- It can involve Test Execution where test cases are run and results are recorded.
- It can involve Test Closure activities to evaluate test completeness and the overall quality of the software.
- It can integrate Continuous Testing practices within a DevOps environment to ensure ongoing quality.

- Example(s):
- a Software System Test Planning Process that outlines the scope, approach, resources, and schedule for testing activities.
- a Software System Test Execution Process that runs predefined test cases on a software build to verify its functionality.
- a Software System Defect Reporting Process that systematically records and tracks defects identified during testing.
- a Software System Smoke Testing Process that quickly checks the core functionality of a newly deployed build to ensure it is stable enough for further testing.

- Counter-Example(s):
- Ad-hoc Testing, which lacks a structured approach and formal documentation.
- Content Management Configuration Change Management Process ...
- Aerospace System Testing Process that includes rigorous safety and functionality checks for aircraft systems.
- Manufacturing Quality Control Process that involves inspecting and testing products to meet predefined standards.
- Automotive Testing Process that assesses vehicle safety, performance, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
