Relationship With Software Testing
Unit testing tests a module in isolation, to check that it meets its contract assuming its subcontractors meet theirs. Integration testing checks whether the various modules are working properly together. The system test is a white-box test that normally checks the contract between the supplier of the software and the client, and does normally not go into such details.

“Some [adolescent] girls are depressed because they have lost their warm, open relationship with their parents.
