BROWSER COMPATIBILITY TESTING.....make sure whether your website is compatible or not??

By


What is browser compatibility testing in software testing??




In software testing browser compatibility testing is a type of testing in which is used to ensure compatibility of the system/product/software/application or website which is built with various other objects such as various hardware platform, operating systems, users and other specific requirements.


It is a type of functional testing which enables a person to find out how well your product/software or application performs in a specific environment. It actually involves the testing of the required product or application built in the computing environment.

There are a number of browser compatibility testing tools present in an online market which we can efficiently use to test the compatibility of the browser that whether the browser you are working with is compatible with the required components and operating system or not.
some of the tools are Ghostslabs, Sauce labs, and CrossBrowsingTesting etc.

Sometimes it would happen to you also that you are trying to access a particular website but it will also prompt you to call technical support.While they simply tell me to do the required job by using another browser. When I do so and yeah the problem is solved. It is just a case when the website you are currently accessing is not compatible with your operating system or you can say that you are not done with the browser compatibility testing.

Browser compatibility testing is also known as cross browser testing.

  • It  simply means testing a particular website or application in many browsers in order to make sure that at client side the user need not to call any technical support and thus making no compromise with the product's quality.
  • Browser compatibility testing  is applicable to both mobile base applications as well as web base applications.

There are a number of reasons for what a particular testing is to be done. Some of the reasons are described below:
  • To know what is wrong in the system and are we able to fix it or not??
  • To check the functionality and working of the system/application or website along with assembled hardware components, and current operating system.
  • To enhance the efficiency and traffic of the website. The more the website compatible with the number of browsers, the more it will be accessed by the users.
  • To check whether, the appearance of the website is same on different browsers or not?? If not what differences are there?
  • It is also performed in order to check the backward compatibility and carrier compatibility.

This is all about some basics of browser compatibility testing, in next post I am going to post how browser compatibility testing is performed. For more information please visit  http://www.precisetestingsolution.com/ and till then keep testing....

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

By
The testers should catch the bugs in software that they’re testing. Testers should try to catch as several vital bugs as soon as possible. Catching the crucial bug earlier on Product-Life-Cycle can save the Projects from financial losses & mitigate the risks as compared for catching the same at a later stage in SDLC. Steps to hunt the bugs: Sometimes it’s useful to break the rules: The following test cases, which were predefined a tester can miss the bugs so it makes it impossible’s to provide the product i.e. 100 percent bug free. If you-follow pre-determined test cases you risks becoming blind to outside the bugs. A first secret is to check the functionality under the test. It’ll be an effective channel to discover the more bugs, because functionality is not generally covered by the test cases. Examine the patterns: You might have noticed that the bugs can be often met in the groups, one can call them-gregarious. The testing a new but the similar functionality...

Mobile Application Testing: Strategy for Development

By
There are a huge number of demands and lots of competitions in the mobile application industries. In that demands and competitions, the mobile application testing has become more important. The testing phase of the mobile application testing looks like evil between the creative process and excitement of new products in the market. According to the survey, “In US, on an average 2-3 hours per day people spends their time on smartphones and tablets. On that time, they spent 80% on mobile application and remaining 20% on web applications.” Few list of key factors for successful mobile application testing strategies are: Selection of Device for Testing : Before introducing the mobile application test activities, first select the devices for testing the application. Selection decision is very important because only devices can help to targets maximum numbers of the customers for accessing the application. There are two parts for device selection: §   Device Model ...
