What is Compatibility Testing?
Compatibility testing is used to determine if your software application has issues related to how it functions in concert with the operating system and different types of system hardware and software. What is the purpose of Compatibility Testing?
Your internal QA department has done all it can to ensure that your software functions as designed. The light is shining at the end of the development tunnel; your product is nearing completion, and the release deadline is rapidly approaching. You know that the application functions on all of your in-house computers. What about the myriad of computer systems of your target users? Nothing upsets your customers more than breaking open that shrink-wrap (or downloading the software from your site) only to find that a conflict exists with the software or hardware they have installed on their computer, rendering your product inoperable. Compatibility testing can help you avoid that dangerous and expensive pitfall. How can nResult help you deliver high quality products and lower your customer service costs?
Our Hardware and Software lab features all the latest equipment, including off-the-shelf computer systems, both desktops and notebooks, available from retail outlets and through mail order, as well as clones installed with the most popular add-on cards. We will rigorously test your software to ensure compatibility with all the operating systems, software applications and hardware you support. We will prepare a custom made Test Suite based on your needs, keeping both your hardware support list and budget in mind. You approve the Test Suite before any testing commences. We will prepare a password-protected web page at our site where you will find your latest status reports available as they are generated. At the completion of testing you will receive a comprehensive final report that includes all tested configurations and details of all the bugs and incompatibilities discovered.
