# Component level testing- Tests performed on individual components which assemble together to form parts of the subsystem. (E.g: Solar panel)
# Subsystem level testing- Tests performed on subsystems which are formed by assembly of components. (E.g: Communication subsystem)
# System level testing- Tests conducted on the entire satellite/ space system which is formed after integration of all subsystems. [[File:production_phaseSystems Engineering Life Cycle - V Model.pngPNG|650px|center]]
# Qualification testing- Tests are performed to show that the design, manufacturing, testing, functions, meet the mission requirements. These tests are performed on the Qualification Model (QM). The boundary conditions applied in these tests are severe and do exceed the design safety parameters than the actual scenario to check the sustainability of the system.
# Acceptance testing- These tests are performed on the complete integrated system to be sent in orbit. The objective of these tests is for quality assurance of materials, parts and possible errors in integration along with the specific requirements of the system. However, these test limits are moderate and do not exceed the design safety parameters causing failures in the system.
Once the various tests have been performed on the QM and FM, celebrate! Because your satellite is now ready to be launched.
