rendszerteszt

Rendszerteszt, Hungarian for system test, is a term used in software engineering to describe testing of a complete system as a single, integrated entity. It focuses on verifying that the combined software components, hardware interfaces, and external systems work together to meet defined requirements. The test observes system behavior under realistic usage conditions and with end-to-end workflows.

Purpose and scope: The goal is to validate overall functionality, performance, reliability, security, and usability. It checks interactions between modules, data flow, external interfaces, and deployment configurations. Rendszerteszt aims to uncover defects that emerge only when parts operate together, which may not be visible in unit or integration tests.

Process: Activities typically include test planning, designing test cases from system requirements, setting up the test environment, executing tests, logging defects, and performing retests and regression testing. Environments can be dedicated testing labs, staging environments, or hardware-in-the-loop setups for embedded systems.

Types and techniques: Functional system testing validates that the system delivers required features. Non-functional testing covers performance, stress, scalability, reliability, security, and usability. End-to-end and cross-interface scenarios emulate real user journeys. Black-box and exploratory testing methods are commonly used, often supported by automated test scripts.

Tools and standards: Test management tools, automation frameworks, and performance testing tools support planning, execution, and reporting. Standards such as IEEE 829/1012-family and ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 provide guidance on test documentation and processes, though implementations vary by organization and domain.

Outcomes: A system test cycle yields a test report, defect log, and a readiness assessment for deployment or release. Findings influence risk assessment, release planning, and quality assurance metrics.
