that it meets the functional and technical requirements.
System testing is also resembles like a production stage
where the process will actually run but it will still under
testing phase to perform the other types of testing if
needed and then finally test again under UAT.

which we got from client or from use cases designs. There
are number of types of testing which will come under
functional testing like : Unit testing, Integration testing,
