Compatibility Testing is of two type
  • Backward Compatibility Testing: In this testing, we verify that the developed software is compatible with the old versions of hardware/softwares.
  • Forward Compatibility Testing: In this testing, we verify that the developed software is compatible with the newer versions of hardware/softwares.
