System Testing?

Answer

UAT VS SIT :

Objective of UAT : To test the application from end users
perspective and to verify for the business rules.
Objective of ST : To test the application for the
correctness of how the application has been built and how
its interface is been done.

Question { RTG, 9728 }

Explian traceablity matrix with an example ?

Answer

Just to add some thing more with our friend
Rsntallapudi123, in a Testing Scenario, the traceability
matrix tracks the requirement to defects and in the reverse
too...

The primary objective of Traceability matrix is to ensure
coverage.

Eg.
Reqt. Scenario Condn cases Defect
R1 S1 CO1 CA1 -
R1 S1 CO1 CA2 D1
R1 S1 CO2 CA3 -
R1 S1 CO2 CA4 D2
R1 S2 CO3 CA5 D3
R1 S2 CO3 CA6 D4

This is how it works. So if any of the reqt been missed out
while test design we wont have its corresponding Scenario,
cond and cases listed . This will help us know the coverage
of our testing.
