System testing

System testing is the phase of software testing in which the complete system is tested. It follows Integration testing.
According to the IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary, System testing is testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements (IEEE). System testing falls within the scope of Black box testing, and as such, requires no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.
Alpha testing and Beta testing are sub-categories of System testing.
