What is Compatibility Testing

By -
Testing is done to ensure that the product features work consistently with different infrastructure components is called Compatibility Testing.Testing the application in different software and hardware environment is nothing but compatibility testing. This testing conducted on the application to evaluate the application's compatibility with the computing environment like:-
  • Computing capacity of Hardware Platform (IBM 360, HP 9000, etc.)..
  • Bandwidth handling capacity of networking hardware(based on network connection)
  • Compatibility of peripherals (Printer, DVD drive, Pen drive,etc.)
  • Operating systems (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.)
It has 2 classifications

Backward Compatibility Testing:-

It is done to ensure that the current version of the same product continues to work with the older version of the same product.

Forward Compatibility Testing:-

Testing the product with the beat version of the O/S, early access version of the developers kit, and so are the examples for the Forward Compatibility Testing.This type of testing ensures that the risk allowed in to the product for the future requirements is minimized.

By using this prototype, the client can get an "actual feel" of the system. Advantages It could serve as the first system. Prototyping is an attractive idea for complicated and large systems for which there is no manual  process or existing system to help determining the requirements.

This technique is particularly useful when the software’s behavior depends on its current state. Imagine you’re driving a car. Your car’s state changes based on what you're doing, right? It could be in "Park," "Drive," "R
