Compatibility testing involves evaluating the compatibility of the application with the target environment to guarantee a consistent user experience. During compatibility testing, software is tested on various combinations of hardware, software, and network configurations to identify any issues that may arise due to platform-specific dependencies, browser inconsistencies, or hardware limitations.
The objective is to ensure that the software functions as intended and provides a satisfactory experience for users regardless of the device or platform they are using. Compatibility testing covers a range of aspects, including cross-browser testing, cross-device testing, and operating system compatibility. It ensures that the software is compatible with popular web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari, and that it works seamlessly on desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. Compatibility testing can also verify that the application is compatible with different operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
By conducting comprehensive compatibility testing, organisations can identify and resolve compatibility issues at any stage of the development cycle, minimising the risk of user dissatisfaction, usability problems, or technical glitches. It helps ensure a consistent and reliable user experience across different platforms, devices, and browsers, leading to increased customer satisfaction and engagement.
This type of testing focuses on verifying that the application functions correctly and displays properly across various web browsers, ensuring that the software has consistent behaviour and appearance regardless of the browser being used.
This testing validates the software's compatibility with different operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and others. It ensures that the application operates seamlessly and maintains its functionality across various OS versions.
Hardware testing verifies that the software is compatible with different hardware configurations, such as processors, memory and graphics cards. It ensures that the application performs optimally across a range of hardware setups and does not encounter any compatibility-related issues.
Network compatibility testing evaluates the software's performance and functionality in different network environments, such as LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, or cellular networks, including varying network conditions, data transmissions, latency, and bandwidth requirements.
Message us at any time to tell us about your software or embedded software and one of our friendly team members will get back to you with further information.
We can set up a consultation either in person or online in order to discuss your specific requirements and for us to provide you with some initial recommendations.
After our initial consultation, you will be provided a scope of work and our formal Services Agreement.
Our scope of work will outline what testing methodologies are planned for your software (or the package you have opted for), the inclusions and exclusions, and is completely bespoke to your specific requirements.
Afterwards we will set up specified communication channels and work will begin.
We aim to establish long-term partnerships built on the most appropriate structure to serve your requirements. Our team are seasoned communicators when it comes to testing and focus on client satisfaction, which means that you will be receiving ongoing productive feedback and suggestions.
At the end of our engagement, you will receive a formal Test Report. This report will outline any issues found within your software in a straightforward, efficient structure with only the necessary information.
