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.

Smoke Testing

In Smoke Testing, Testing team check the key feature or key bugs of the software. Smoke testing ensure that critical functionality of the software is working fine.If key features are not working then it is no needed to test the overall functionality because it is just waste of time. In Smoke Testing, test team check the basic feature of the software and if basic feature is not working it means software is broken very badly and further testing is unnecessary. If Smoke Testing failed then it is declared that build is unstable and revert back to developer team until smoke test is pass.
