How do you differentiate 'Technical Integration Validation' from that of 'Business Process Validation'?

Hi Kelsy,

that's a good question. Let me try to answer:

Technical Integration Validation: A testing approach with a focus on the technical interfaces of a system's components. The goal is to verify if the component interfaces deliver the expected response and can be integrated with the other components or sub systems.

Business Process Validation: Business Process Validation has a focus on the end user's needs and requirements. The goal is to verify, if the system supports the business processes across all the system components (internal and external).

This is great, thank you for clarifying and providing those definitions. Very helpful! :)
