The document outlines the differences between System Integration Testing (SIT) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), two critical stages in the software testing process. SIT is performed after unit testing to validate the functionality of integrated modules, while UAT occurs last to ensure the developed software meets client and user requirements. Both testing phases utilize different methodologies and are essential for delivering quality-assured software.

1. QA Teams test software in various stages to make it quality-assured and bug-free before delivering them to
users. It begins from unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and at last ends with user acceptance
testing. Among these, SIT and UAT testing are the two testing stages where teams are required to have
efficient skills to process them successfully. There are many differences between these two testing phases,
and thus it becomes important for a tester to be aware of them before moving ahead into testing.
System integration Testing or SIT is the software testing type
where the individually tested modules are combined and tested
to validate their functionality. SIT is effectively performed by
testers and developers after the completion of unit testing.
With integration testing, it will be easier for the QA teams to
identify the modules that are performing well individually and
failing to function well when they are integrated.
UAT stands for User Acceptance Testing, and
it is the last testing phase after system
testing. In UAT testing, clients and end-users
perform testing to validate whether the
developed software is as per the
requirements of both client and user. It is the
final testing practice, and it helps in prevent
in delivering software that is having bugs.
With UAT testing, end-users and clients
achieve the confidence that the developed
application will successfully meet the
requirements.

DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN UAT
TESTING AND
SIT TESTING
System Integration Testing UAT Testing
SIT is performed to test the functionality of
the modules when they are integrated
SIT is practiced after unit testing and before
system testing
SIT helps in resolving issues related to
control flow, data flow, etc.
SIT uses the following approaches:
Big Bang approach, Top-down approach, and
Bottom-up approach
The purpose of SIT is to check the interface
SIT is performed by testers and developers
UAT is performed to validate a fully developed
application is able to meet the requirements
of users and clients
UAT is practiced after system testing, and
before moving the software for production
UAT helps in resolving issues related to
functionality, features, etc.
UAT uses the following approaches:
Alpha and beta testing, black box testing, etc.
The purpose of UAT is to validate the
functionality from user’s point of view
UAT is performed by end-users and clients
