Overloading or Overriding ?

I am preparing for SCJP and i have the following doubt.

Consider the following code :

public class Test
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
SuperTest st = new SubTest();
st.testMethod(10);
}
}

class SuperTest
{
public void testMethod(int a)
{
System.out.println("\n Test Method in Super Test Class ");
}
}

class SubTest extends SuperTest
{
public void testMethod(final int a)
{
System.out.println("\n Test Method in SubTest Class ");
}
}

Whether the testMethod in SuperTest is overloaded or overriden in SubTest ?

My guess is that it is overridden because the argument no and type are the same therefore the signature is the same(the final modifier does not matter).(but I am not sure as I will take the exam in a month and have not studied that objective this is just as far as I know).
Please correct me if I am wrong.

It's overridden (same signature).
