Compatibility testing
Compatibility testing, part of software non-functional tests, is testing conducted on the application to evaluate the application's compatibility with the computing environment. Computing environment may contain some or all of the below mentioned elements:
» Computing capacity of Hardware Platform (IBM 360, HP 9000, etc.)
» Bandwidth handling capacity of networking hardware
» Compatibility of peripherals (Printer, DVD drive, etc.)
» Operating systems (MVS, UNIX, Windows, etc.)
» Database (Oracle, Sybase, DB2, etc.)
» Other System Software (Web server, networking/ messaging tool, etc.)
» Browser compatibility (Firefox, Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.)
» Carrier compatibility (Verizon, Sprint, Orange, O2, AirTel, etc.)
» Backwards compatibility.
» Hardware (different phones)
» Different Compilers (compile the code correctly)
» Runs on multiple host/guest Emulators
