4. Component / Unit Test Smallest Scope Performed by developer
Run each line of code

5. Assembly / System / Function Test
Increased Scope
Performed by tester
Verify traceability to design deliverables
Functionality
Interface (user and system)
Longest phase in testing methodology

6. Product Test Increased Scope Verify traceability to PLRs / LLRs
Can include performance test
Can be regression test for enhancements to existing system
Also know as End-to-End (E2E) Test or Regression Test

Set of test inputs, execution conditions and expected results, to determine if a feature is working correctly
You’re going to do UAT. Only question is before or after you go live!
Test Flow is Unit Test  Function Test  Product Test  UAT
A good test plan will include test cases for all boundaries.
