==Purpose==

Some different types of integration testing are big-bang, mixed (sandwich), risky-hardest, [[top-down and bottom-up design|top-down, and bottom-up]], mixed (sandwich) and risky-hardest. Other Integration Patterns<ref>Binder, Robert V.: ''Testing Object-Oriented Systems: Models, Patterns, and Tools''. Addison Wesley 1999. {{ISBN|0-201-80938-9}}</ref> are: collaboration integration, backbone integration, layer integration, client-server integration, distributed services integration and high-frequency integration.

In the big-bang approach, most of the developed modules are coupled together to form a complete software system or major part of the system and then used for integration testing. This method is very effective for saving time in the integration testing process. However, if the test cases and their results are not recorded properly, the entire integration process will be more complicated and may prevent the testing team from achieving the goal of integration testing.
