'''System testing''', a.k.a. '''end-to-end (E2E) testing''', is testing conducted on a complete [[software system]].

System testing describes testing as at the system level to contrast to testing at the [[system integration testing|system integration]], [[integration testing|integration]] or [[unit testing|unit]] level.

System testing often serves the purpose of evaluating the system's compliance with its specified [[requirements]] {{Citation needed|date=April 2008}} {{endash}} often from a [[Functional requirements|functional requirement specification]] (FRS), a [[Requirements analysis|system requirement specification]] (SRS), another type of specification or multiple.

* [[Destructive testing]]: tests are carried out to the specimen's failure, in order to understand a specimen's performance or material behaviour under different loads.

* [[Nondestructive testing]]: analysis techniques to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.

*[[Fault injection]]: A testing technique which stress the system in an unusual way to examine the system behavior.<ref>{{Cite journalbook|last1=Moradi|first1=Mehrdad|last2=Van Acker|first2=Bert|last3=Vanherpen|first3=Ken|last4=Denil|first4=Joachim|date=2019|editor-last=Chamberlain|editor-first=Roger|editor2-last=Taha|editor2-first=Walid|editor3-last=Törngren|editor3-first=Martin|titlechapter=Model-Implemented Hybrid Fault Injection for Simulink (Tool Demonstrations)|journaltitle=Cyber Physical Systems.
