-
Validation tests
These tests verify the software's functionality, interfaces, performance and correct operation. They check that the software meets the expressed needs, and that it fits correctly into its environment.
The validation test is not concerned with the software's internal structure.
-
Software integration testing
These tests verify the software architecture. They check that the software components communicate correctly with...
