Alpha Test

Client uses the software ate the developer's environment.

Integration Testing

Collection of subsystems determined during the system and object design

Sandwich Testing

Combination of top-down and bottom-up strategy

Beta Test

Conducted at client's environment.

System Integration (IT)

It is the process of linking together different computing system and software applications physically or functionally, to act as a coordinated whole.

Unit

It is the smallest testable part of an application

System Integrator

Person or company that specializes in bringing together component subsystems into a whole and ensuring that those subsystems function together, a practice known as SI. Used in IT field the defense industry, or in media

Vertical

Process of integrating subsystems according to their functionality by creating functional entities.

Star

Process of integration of the systems where each system is interconnected to each of the remaining subsystems.

Required Skills

System integration engineer needs a broad range of skills and is likely to be defined by a breadth of knowledge.

EAI

Systems usually stipulate an application independent (or common) data format. (Acronym)

Functional Testing

Test cases are designed form the requirements analysis document

Test how the system behaves when overloaded.

Top-down Testing

Test the top layer of the controlling subsystem first.

Bottom-up Testing

The subsystem in the lowest layer of the call hierarchy are tested individually
