Compatibility Testing


About Compatibility Testing
Compatibility is non-functional testing to ensure customer satisfaction. It is to determine whether your software application or product is proficient enough to run in different browsers, databases, hardware, operating system, mobile devices, and networks.

Compatibility tests should always perform in the real environment instead of a virtual environment.

Why is Compatibility Testing important?
Compatibility testing helps ensure complete customer satisfaction as it checks whether the application performs or operates as expected for all the intended users across multiple platforms. Compatibility testing is to check the application working in the same way for all platforms.

Usually, the dev team and testing team test the application on a single platform. But the once application is released in production, the customer may test our product on a different platform and they may find bugs in the application which is not worthy in terms of quality.
