What is Compatibility testing?
Compatibility testing is software testing that comes under the non-functional testing category, and it is performed on an application to check its compatibility (running capability) on different platforms/environments. This testing is done only when the application becomes stable. This means simply this compatibility test aims to check the developed software application functionality on various software, hardware platforms, networks and browsers, etc. This compatibility testing is very important in product production and implementation point of view as it is performed to avoid future issues regarding compatibility.
