The process of testing the complete and integrated software product to meet specified requirements is said to be System Testing. The main aim of this testing is to test the whole software product which is already integrated. It is the third level of software testing. Independent software testers will perform this testing.
Working Process of System Testing
Initially, it will perform testing on fully integrated applications to verify that the interaction is made perfect with the system.
To Optimize each and every input of the application or product to get the expected output
Finally, make sure that the application got the desired output which will be ready for the final level of testing
Types of System Testing
It is broadly divided into two types namely Functional Testing and Non-Functional Testing
Again Functional Testing is divided into many types
Acceptance Testing
Beta Testing
Integration Testing
Interface Testing
Regression Testing
System Testing
Sanity Testing
Smoke Testing
Unit Testing
Non-Functional Testing is also divided into many types
Compatibility Testing
Compliance Testing
Install Testing
Localization Testing
Performance Testing
Recovery Testing
Reliability Testing
Security Testing
Usability Testing
Among the above testing types, this testing mainly involves for following types
Non-Functional Testing is one of the types of software testing. The major role of it is to test the performance of the system as per its parameters. Here is the blog to provide you some of the non-functional testing types in software testing. It also comes under the black box testing technique.
Non-Functional Testing Types
Compatibility Testing:
Compatibility Testing helps to test the compatibility of a software application with various software and hardware systems. It is one of the types of non-functional testing. It must be performing to verify the developed software application is working correctly on multiple devices and platforms or not.
Compliance Testing:
Compliance Testing is also called as Conformance Testing or Standards Testing or Regular Testing. It is defined as to determine whether the product complies with basic requirements under certain specifications or standards. In other words, we can say that compliance testing is a process of verifying the compliance of a system and it met all the specified standards or not.
Install Testing:
Installation Testing helps to verify the software application is working correctly or not after installation. It helps to validate whether it is performing well or not if any updates or modifications have been done. It is also one of the types of non-functional testing.
Localization Testing:
The process of validating the working performance of a software application according to the local settings or targeted location. While doing localization testing the aspects like content and UI may get affected. In a simple way we can say that if an application is designed for the USA, then the time, currency and language format should follow US standards.
Non-Functional Testing Types
Performance Testing:
Performance Testing comes under non-functional testing types. It determines to test the performance of a software application under a certain workload. This is the most important testing type of non-functional testing which is divided into 6 types. Namely Load Testing, Stress Testing, Endurance Testing, Spike Testing, Volume Testing and Scalability Testing.
Load Testing:
Load Testing is one of the types of non-functional testing. It works on verification of the performance of a system under any load conditions. Load conditions are referred to as a system facing pressure like many users accessing the system at a time. It helps to check whether the system is getting proper response time and throughput.
Stress Testing:
Stress Testing can be defined as to determine the performance of the system under a heavy workload that is more than design expectations. The main of this testing is to point out the error of an application when load increases.
Endurance Testing:
It helps to calculate the time period of the workload of a system application under certain requirements. Endurance Testing comes under non-functional testing types. Endurance Testing is also known as Soak Testing.
Spike Testing:
It determines the performance of the system under sudden increment or decrement of the load by users. It is also one of the types of non-functional testing.
Volume Testing:
Volume Testing determines to verify the software application’s performance under a large number of database volumes. It is also known as Flood Testing. It comes under non-functional testing types which mainly focuses on the database.
Scalability Testing:
Scalability Testing is one of the types of non-functional testing. The main purpose of it is to check the performance of the system. In terms of scalability like to scale up or scale down depending on the user requests.
Recovery Testing:
The process of testing to determine how quickly the system can recover data and face any system failure or loss of data. It also comes under non-functional testing types. The main aim of recovery testing is to verify whether the system is working properly after a system crash.
Reliability Testing:
If the software product provides the same output results repeatedly under a specified period of time and the environment. In other words, we can say that if a product is defect-free and provides the same output results.
Security Testing:
Security Testing is one of the types of non-functional testing. It helps to test and find any threats or risks in a software application. Also to check whether is any loss of data. The major role of security testing is to identify the risks or threats of a system and help developers to fix these issues.
Usability Testing:
Usability Testing or UX (User Experience) Testing which comes under non-functional testing types. It plays a key role in focusing the user flexibility and ability to use the application. This testing can be clearly understood if it goes under real-time users.
Here we provide you the blog of functional testing vs non-functional testing with a brief explanation and examples including types and tools…
Functional Testing:
Functional Testing is defined as the testing which tests the functions of a software application and checks whether the output results are matched with expected results.
Steps for working progress of Functional Testing:
It performs testing on main functions
Identifies the functions and its operations
Checks the accessibility of the system
It executes the test cases
Checks the error conditions
Finally compares the output results with the expected results
Non-Functional Testing:
Non-Functional Testing is used to test the performance of software application based on customer’s expectations and under specific conditions.
Steps for working progress of Non-Functional Testing:
Initially tests the performance of a software application
Optimizes the software application
Provides appropriate measurements over the software product
Improves the behavior of a software application
Provides more reliable and flexible output results

Execution
Generally, it is used to perform before non-functional testing.
It is used to perform after functional testing.
Focus
It performs based on customer’s requirements.
It performs based on customer’s expectations.
Requirement
Functional Requirements are very easy to define.
Non-Functional Requirements are difficult to define.
Usage
It helps to validate the test functions of the software application.
It helps to validate the test performance of the software application.
Objective
It checks whether the actual results are working according to the expected results.
