I was attending a junior QA job interview last week. I was asked what is Backend testing. My answer was that Backend testing is testing a database on a particular system. They told me that's true but it is not only database testing. I was confused. Anyone knows what else could it be? Thanks.

I think they were right. In my experience too, Backend Testing does not only include Database Testing because Backend of an application does not just contain a Database but it may involve a server or APIs as well. Testing just the database would not be enough to validate if the whole Backend is sound and good if it contains other components to it. So, testing out the server-side components, which may involve Application or Web services and also any API calls, that they respond correctly and do not return erroneous data, is also equally important. So, I think that they were expecting a more general answer rather than just saying that it only involves Database Testing.
