<p>

<b>System integration testing</b> (<b>SIT</b>) involves the overall <a href="Test_method" title="Test method">testing</a> of a complete <a href="System" title="System">system</a> of many <a href="Subsystem" class="mw-redirect" title="Subsystem">subsystem</a> components or elements. The system under test may be composed of electromechanical or <a href="Computer_hardware" title="Computer hardware">computer</a> hardware, or <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a>, or hardware with <a href="Embedded_software" title="Embedded software">embedded software</a>, or hardware/software with <a href="Human-in-the-loop" title="Human-in-the-loop">human-in-the-loop</a> testing. SIT is typically performed on a larger integrated system of components and subassemblies that have previously undergone <b>subsystem testing</b>.

</p><p>SIT consists, initially, of the "process of assembling the constituent parts of a system in a logical, cost-effective way, comprehensively checking system execution (all nominal and exceptional paths), and including a full functional check-out."<sup id="cite_ref-houser2011_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-houser2011-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following integration, system test is a process of "<a href="Verification_and_validation" title="Verification and validation">verifying</a> that the system meets its requirements, and <a href="Verification_and_validation" title="Verification and validation">validating</a> that the system performs in accordance with the customer or user expectations."<sup id="cite_ref-houser2011_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-houser2011-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>In <a href="Technology" title="Technology">technology</a> <a href="New_product_development" title="New product development">product development</a>, the beginning of system integration testing is often the first time that an entire system has been assembled such that it can be tested as a whole. In order to make system testing most productive, the many constituent assemblies and subsystems will have typically gone through a subsystem test and successfully verified that each subsystem meets its requirements at the subsystem interface level.

</p><p>In the context of <a href="Software_system" title="Software system">software systems</a> and <a href="Software_engineering" title="Software engineering">software engineering</a>, <i>system integration testing</i> is a testing process that exercises a software system's coexistence with others. With multiple integrated systems, assuming that each have already passed system testing,<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> SIT proceeds to test their required interactions.

Following this, the <a href="Deliverable" title="Deliverable">deliverables</a> are passed on to acceptance testing.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Software_system_integration_testing">Software system integration testing</h2></div>

<p>For <a href="Software" title="Software">software</a> SIT is part of the <a href="Software_testing" title="Software testing">software testing</a> life cycle for collaborative projects. Usually, a round of SIT precedes the <a href="User_acceptance_test" class="mw-redirect" title="User acceptance test">user acceptance test</a> (UAT) round. Software providers usually run a pre-SIT round of tests before consumers run their SIT test cases.

</p><p>For example, if an integrator (company) is providing an enhancement to a customer's existing solution, then they integrate the new application layer and the new database layer with the customer's existing application and database layers.

After the integration is complete, users use both the new part (extended part) and old part (pre-existing part) of the integrated application to update data. A process should exist to exchange data imports and exports between the two data layers. This data exchange process should keep both systems up-to-date. The purpose of system integration testing is to ensure all parts of these systems successfully co-exist and exchange data where necessary.

</p><p>There may be more parties in the integration, for example the primary customer (consumer) can have their own customers; there may be also multiple providers.
