Systematic testing refers to a complete, conformance testing approach to software testing, in which the tested unit is shown to conform exhaustively to a specification, up to the testing assumptions. This contrasts with exploratory, incomplete or random forms of testing. The aim is to provide repeatable guarantees of correctness after testing is finished.
Examples of systematic testing methods include the Stream X-Machine testing method and equivalence partition testing with full boundary value analysis.
