kerfisprófun

Kerfisprófun is an Icelandic term that translates to "system testing" in English. It refers to the systematic examination of a computer system or software application to evaluate its compliance with specified requirements. This type of testing is typically performed after integration testing, where individual components have been tested and combined. The goal of kerfisprófun is to identify defects and ensure that the entire system functions as expected under various conditions.

The process of kerfisprófun involves testing the complete and integrated software product. It focuses on the end-to-end functionality of the system, simulating real-world scenarios and user interactions. This can include testing functional requirements, performance, security, usability, and reliability. Unlike unit testing or integration testing, which focus on smaller parts of the system, kerfisprófun views the system as a whole.

Key objectives of kerfisprófun include verifying that the system meets all business and technical requirements, identifying any bugs or errors that may have been introduced during development or integration, and ensuring that the system is stable and ready for deployment. It is a crucial phase in the software development lifecycle, providing confidence in the quality and readiness of the final product. The results of kerfisprófun inform decisions about whether the system is ready for release to end-users or requires further development and testing.
