It is created after the system requirements have been established for the cycle of development, and updated at the beginning of each cycle thereafter and as requirements change. The major portions of the STP are the test procedures and test cases, which are updated throughout integration testing. Integration Test Integration testing is conducted upon software modules that have undergone full unit testing. Integration tests are performed on related modules by the software developers responsible for the modules. The QEB test engineer will help as needed.
Integration tests help isolate code problems within small groups of modules.
High-risk modules will be tested first or as they come on line. Code drivers will be written to exercise modules. These tests wil be documented to ensure completion and readiness for system testing. Any test cases written for integration tests can and should be used in system testing. The system test is conducted upon complete integrated software code installed in the proper environment.
