Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

System testing involves testing the functioning of the system as a whole. The other options are not accurate descriptions of system testing. Option A describes test preparation, which is only a part of system testing. Option C describes unit testing, which tests individual programs or modules, not the system as a whole. Option D describes certification, which is separate from testing. Option E describes a potential approach to distributing testing but not actual testing itself.
