Compatibility Testing - Web Applications

1. Introduction

In today’s world all organizations, whether product based or project based companies, are trying to build their products which can be compatible with most other software which have dependencies on application product. Nowadays software which are compatible with other software versions or supported software versions are in demand in the market. Compatible means a product ‘A’ should work exactly on other / supported software versions. All its features should behave in same manner as it was intended to work. There should be no error and end user should not be bothered from this.

2. Situation Analysis

Different versions, configurations, display resolutions and Internet connect speeds all can impact the behavior of your product and introduce costly and embarrassing bugs. That is why there is need to have compatibility testing for any product.

3. Problem Statement

When an organization develops the web based application, they are developed as per the requirements but later on it seems that the target audience / end users list keeps on growing and expanding but the specification does not change at the same pace. Thus it becomes impor-tant that we need to identify how the end user uses the application on various platforms.

4. Solution Proposition
