Explain about "Compatibility Testing" in Web based
Application?

Answer Posted / ramyab.mca@gmail.com

Hai...

Compatibility Testing:
Compatibility of your web site is very important testing
aspect. See which compatibility test to be executed:

Browser compatibility
Operating system compatibility
Mobile browsing
Printing options
Browser compatibility:
In my web-testing career I have experienced this as most
influencing part on web site testing.
Some applications are very dependent on browsers. Different
browsers have different configurations and settings that
your web page should be compatible with. Your web site
coding should be cross browser platform compatible. If you
are using java scripts or AJAX calls for UI functionality,
performing security checks or validations then give more
stress on browser compatibility testing of your web
application.
Test web application on different browsers like Internet
explorer, Firefox, Netscape navigator, AOL, Safari, Opera
browsers with different versions.

OS compatibility:
Some functionality in your web application is may not be
compatible with all operating systems. All new technologies
used in web development like graphics designs, interface
calls like different API’s may not be available in all
Operating Systems.
Test your web application on different operating systems
like Windows, Unix, MAC, Linux, Solaris with different OS
flavors.

Mobile browsing:
This is new technology age. So in future Mobile browsing
will rock. Test your web pages on mobile browsers.
Compatibility issues may be there on mobile.

Printing options:
If you are giving page-printing options then make sure
fonts, page alignment, page graphics getting printed
properly. Pages should be fit to paper size or as per the
size mentioned in printing option.

K,byeee...
