An ... System Testing Task is a system testing task that assesses a designed system without requiring ...

• Context:
  • It can (typically) be used to detect defects or validate outputs before deployment to a live environment.
  • ...
  • It can involve testing software components independently using Test Suites that simulate input data.
  • It can verify system behavior in predefined scenarios without interacting with real users or external systems.
  • It can be from Simpl Offline Testing to being Complex Offline Testing.
  • It can utilize offline resources such as Pre-recorded Data Sets or Static Logs for testing data.
  • It can use Mock Objects or Stub Objects to simulate dependencies and isolate the system under test.
  • It can complement Online Testing Tasks by providing a thorough evaluation of system properties that do not depend on live interactions.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Component Testing that tests individual software components in isolation.
  • Unit Testing that checks the correctness of small units of code.
  • Integration Testing that validates interactions between integrated components.
  • User Acceptance Testing that confirms the system meets business and user requirements before deployment.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Online Testing Tasks, which involve testing in a live environment with real-time user interaction and dynamic data.
  • Exploratory Testing that relies on human intuition and does not follow a predefined script or plan.
