environment test

environment test

A test of new software that determines whether all transactions flow properly between input, output and storage devices. Typically done by systems programmers, an environment test ensures that all the parts of the system are in place. It does not test for content or validate output, which is performed by quality assurance personnel who develop test suites. See testing types.
