When should component integration tests be carried out?

AIntegration tests should always be done after system tests

BIntegration tests should be done at the customer's site, after acceptance tests

CIntegration tests can be done before or after system tests

DIntegration tests should always be done before system tests

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Component integration tests are designed to verify the interactions and interfaces between integrated components. These tests should be carried out after component testing (where individual components are tested in isolation) but before system testing (where the entire system is tested as a whole). This ensures that any issues arising from the integration of components are identified and resolved early in the testing process, making option D the correct answer.

A) Integration tests after system tests? That seems a bit backwards. You want to make sure the pieces fit together before you test the whole thing, don't you?

Haha, B) Integration tests at the customer's site? What is this, a sitcom? I'm pretty sure the developers should be the ones doing those tests, not the poor customer.

I think integration tests can be done before or after system tests, as long as they are done thoroughly by the developers.

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to wait until the customer's site for integration tests. It should be done earlier in the development process.

I agree, integration tests should definitely be done by the developers before involving the customer.

D) Integration tests should always be done before system tests. That way you can catch any issues with how the components interact before you run the full system through its paces.

C) Integration tests can be done before or after system tests seems like the correct answer to me. You need to make sure the different components work together, regardless of when you do the system tests.
