endtoend testing

what is end to end testing and where/at what stage we can apply the end to end testing?

End-to-end testing is the process of testing transactions or business level products as they pass right through the computer systems. Thus this generally ensures that all aspects of the business are supported by the systems under test.

This ensures that the overall process flows as expected, that is that system components integrate together correctly and that the right information is passed between them.

The process may fail and there could be omissions in the process. Dependencies may not have been identified and incorrect information could be passed between system components and systems. The software may work, but the overall process does not (for example, people order goods, but they are never delivered).

so this doesn't mean that the individual modules are not working properly but there communication is not proper or somewhere some piece is not working or missing from the whole system.

When can we start?
thats a tricky Question as it can be at any stage depend on the sixe of the product but the basic criteria is all the individual modules are working fine...
