System testing takes, as its input, all of the integrated components that have passed [[integration testing]]. The purpose of integration testing is to detect any inconsistencies between the units that are integrated together (called ''assemblages''). System testing seeks to detect defects both within the "inter-assemblages" and also within the system as a whole.{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}}

System testing is performed on the entire system in the context of aeither [[Functional requirements|Functionalfunctional Requirementrequirement]] [...]Specification(s)specifications (FRS) and/or a [[Requirements analysis|Systemsystem Requirementrequirement]] Specificationspecification (SRS)., or both. System testing tests not only the design, but also the behaviour and even the believed expectations of the customer. It is also intended to test up to and beyond the bounds defined in the software/ or hardware requirements specification(s).{{Citation needed|date=April 2008}}
