·       Software

·       Network

·       Browser

·       Devices

·       Mobiles

·       Versions                                         

Ø  Hardware: - It checks software to be friendly with different hardware configurations.

Ø  Operating Systems: - It checks your software to be friendly with different working Systems like Windows, Mac OS etc.

Ø  Software: - It checks your developed software to be compatible with other software. For example: MS Word application should be friendly with other software like MS Outlook, MS Excel.

Ø  Virtual Desktops - Operating System Compatibility:-This is use to run the application in multiple in check systems as effective machines.  Number of systems can be related and compare the results.

Compatibility testing process:-        

Ø  The first phase of compatibility testing is to explain the set of environments or platforms the application is expected to work on.

Ø  Tester should have enough knowledge on the platforms / software / hardware to understand the probable application behavior under unlike configurations.

Ø  Report the bug’s .Fix the defects. Re-test to confirm defect fixing.

Uses:-

Ø  The most important use of compatibility testing is to make confident whether developed software works below different configurations. It is important to check whether the application is compatible with client's environment.
