Systes testing : Under system testing we test the application for

1.Usability testing

2. functionality testing

3.performance testing

Here Usability and functionality testing is called CORE level testing and mandatory for all application. And performance and security testing are advance level testing and mandatory for web applications.

Functional Testing:

Testing that ignores the internal structures of the software and focuses on the output generated in response to selected input and output conditions.

System Testing:

Modules consist of units and all modules are combined together to form the system and these system is tested to make sure that it is working as per specification.
