system testing
     
         (Or "application testing") A type of {testing} to
        confirm that all code modules work as specified, and that the
        system as a whole performs adequately on the {platform} on
        which it will be deployed.
     
        System testing should be performed by testers who are trained
        to plan, execute, and report on application and system code.
        They should be aware of scenarios that might not occur to the
        end user, like testing for null, negative, and format
        inconsistent values.  A tester should be able to repeat the
        steps that caused an error.
