System testing involves testing the complete, integrated system (hardware, software, databases, people, and procedures) to validate that an information system meets all specified requirements. System testing is often done by independent testers who were not involved in developing program code. They attempt to make the system fail. They frequently employ testing called black box testing because it requires no specific knowledge of an application's code and internal logic. In other words, a system tester is aware of what the software is supposed to do but is not aware of how it does it. During user acceptance testing (UAT), trained users test the information system to verify that it can complete required tasks in a real-world operating environment and perform according to the system design specifications. UAT is also known as beta testing, application testing, and end-user testing. Unlike system testing, which ensures that the system itself works, UAT determines whether the system meets its intended business needs.??
