Application testing is often emphasised in practice, as it ensures that an entire software system works for a user. However, this is substantially more complex than unit-testing, so this topic is addressed after the underlying concepts have been introduced in the previous chapters. As for object-oriented testing, this is a significant topic, and the reader is introduced to the common form used in practice: user-story testing.

A more detailed analysis follows, identifying many of the more difficult problems that an application tester will experience.
