What is backward compatibility testing?..

Answer / ravikanth

Testing that ensures that new version of the product
continues to work with the assets created from older
product is known as Backward compatibility testing. For
example, consider a simple case of Excel worksheet. Suppose
you have created a very complex excel sheet to track your
projects schedule, resources, expenses, future plans etc.
Now if you upgrade from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003 and some
of the functions stop working, you will not be delighted
with this.

So crux of the Backward compatibility testing is to make
sure that assets created using older version should
continue to work.

What is backward compatibility testing?..

Answer / lakshmanaraj bg

Testing whether the system is compatible with other systems with which it should communicate.
Compatibility testing measures how well pages display on different clients.

For example: browsers, different browser version, different operating systems, and different machines.

At issue are the different implementations of HTML by the various browser manufacturers and the different machine platform display and rendering characteristics.

Also called browser compatibility testing and cross-browser testing.

Compatibility is a product feature and can have different levels of compliance.

A server configuration is controlled from a single web page with multiple options: ● 20 drop-down menus, with 3-4 options each. ● 5 check-boxes. ● 1 multi-select menu, with 5 options. ● 1 template selection, with 6 options: A, B, C, D, E, F. ○ When options A, B, C, D are selected, all options (#1-#3) above are available. ○ When options E, F are selected, only 10 out of 20 drop-down menus have an effect. ● Besides item #4, developers input is that all options are independent, I.e., not impacting each other. What is the required number of test configurations required in order to test the server configuration and release in good quality: a) Assuming first release. b) Assuming regression tests for release with new features not impacted by the above options. Test configuration is a complete set of options that were selected to be tested in one complete server configuration scenario. I.e, a test configuration is set of 17 or 27 specific options tested together.
