Compatibility Testing

Compatibility Testing is the software non functional testing in which we check the relationship of the software with the computing environment. In Compatibility Testing, One can verify that how your software is working with the Operating Systems, Other Hardwares, Network and other devices.
 Computing Environment can be anything like
  • Computing Capacity of Hardware Platform ( IBM 360, HP 9000 etc)
  • Compatibility with the peripherals ( Scanner, Printers)
  • Operation Systems ( Linux, Windows, Mac)
  • Databases ( Mysql, SQL, Oracle, DB2 etc)
  • Browser Compatibility ( Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE)
  • Network Compatibility ( 2G, 3G, 4G, Broadband etc)
  • Mobile Compatibility ( Android, IOS, Windows etc)
  •  Compatibility with other software ( MS Office etc)
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.
