Integration Testing
A software testing method that verifies the interactive behavior of multiple components or modules when combined, focusing on discovering defects at the interfaces and integration level between components.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
Writing separate tests for each component and having them all pass does not guarantee that the components will work together as expected in combination (the combinatorial fallacy of test coverage).
Integration test environments are difficult to fully replicate the scale, traffic patterns, and concurrency states of production environments, and passing tests does not equate to being ready for a full production rollout.

Software testing can be divided into four levels by development stage: unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing.
