Integration Testing

Integration testing is a type of testing that is conducted in order to discover the defects in interfaces and in the interactions between integrated components or systems.

Problems it will solve

It minimizes the risks of defects in the operation of cross-cutting business processes in the system during its interaction with other systems, or during an integration of several subsystems/modules into a united system.

Deliverables

1. The final report includes the following:
   • Information about the level of functional accuracy of the developed product obtained as a result of integration corresponding to the requirements specified in the documentation
   • Information about the number of defects in the operation of the system’s cross-cutting business processes or modules and their severity
   • A list of defects with a description of the problem and methods for its reproduction
2. Integration testing methodology (MS Word)
3. Testing scenarios (MS Word)
4. Testing requirements (MS Word)
5. Test data for conducting tests in accordance with the scenarios (MS Word)
6. Test protocols (format of specialized tool)

The scope of work

• Analyzing business processes
• Testing methodology development and coordination with the customer
• Implementing the test process management system
• Testing requirements’ development
