Both types of testing are frequently used during Phase 4 of the SDLC: Develop the system.First,unit testing is done to test the performance of individual parts using test (made-up or sample)data.If the program is written as a collaborative effort of multiple programmers,each part of the program is tested separately.In system testing,the parts are linked,and test data is used to see if the parts work together.At this point,actual organizational data may be used to test the system.The system is also tested with erroneous and massive amounts of data to see if the system can be made to fail (crash).
