HOW TO PERFORM COMPATIBILITY TESTING!!!

By


In a previous post, we have discussed what is browser compatibility testing. And in this post, we are going to discuss that how can we perform compatibility testing. Before discussing further, Let us first revise a bit about compatibility testing.
Browser compatibility testing simply means testing your website or application on different browsers. Compatibility testing also called cross-browser testing.

 BROWSER COMPATIBILITY TESTING IS PERFORMED BY

 It is tester's responsibility to determine that which browser should be chosen as there are millions of browser present.
Other personalities like the client, business analysis, and marketing team also take a healthy competition.
Sometimes companies also keep in mind that which browser is mostly used or you can say which browser attract more traffic and then the browser is chosen accordingly.

Whoever performs compatibility or cross-browser testing, but final results are thoroughly examined by design and development team and relevant changes are performed by them only.
HOW BROWSER COMPATIBILITY TESTING IS PERFORMED????
Like all another testing, browser compatibility testing is also performed in various systematic ways or steps. Let's discuss in case of compatibility testing what these steps are:
The first thing to think about browser compatibility testing is whether that browser compatibility testing is done manually or by using tools?
So the answer to this question is that cross-browser testing can be done manually, But as due to the involvement of multiple browsers, multiple system, and multiple operating systems, many problems occur so in order to cope up with this complex situation we are provided with various related tools in order to make our work easier and more efficient.
  • As discussed earlier, traffic scenarios are considered to judge which browser should be tested
  • Sometimes tester often confuses that what part of AUT(Application under test) is to be tested or if all of it at once, but I should tell you that the basic strategy, in this case, is to test 100% features of AUT on one platform or browser and on remaining platforms just check the vital feature or functionality
  • After determine that what feature of AUT is to be tested on which browser, the testing team aims to discuss various other things like risk, time and cost, which sort of people to be included, issue tracking schedules etc.
  • The fourth step in browser compatibility testing is to write various test cases in order to a validate the efficiency of the system.    
  • After validating or executing various test cases. Testing team pass on the results to the develop/design team.
After discussing HOW BROWSER COMPATIBILITY TESTING IS PERFORMED, Let's discuss WHERE AND WHEN IT SHOULD BE PERFORMED FOR BETTER RESULTS.
WHEN
  • In order to manage cost and time, Compatibility testing should also be started in initial stages.
WHERE
  • Cross browser testing is performed on one of the following:
  1. Dev
  2. Production environment 
  3. QA

In Regression Testing: Difference between Automation And Manual Testing

By
The difference between an Automation Testing & Manual-Testing is a pillar of the Software testing, because the whole-testing is based on the Automation Testing and Manual Testing. In the project you can do both Automation Testing & Manual Testing & you can also do both Automation testing and Manual Testing simultaneously. Difference between Automation and Manual Testing Automation Testing Manual Testing The automation testing is a continuous component of the manual testing. This testing is an initiate of the testing, without of this testing we cannot start the automation testing. This takes less of time. This takes a lot of time. In the automation testing, we always test by the running the scripts. In the manual testing testers’re allowed to do the random for find the Bugs. In automation testing, it is done on the different on same time. The manual testing would be executes sequentially. ...

Want to know about Mobile Application Testing? Came to right place

By
What is Mobile Application Testing ? Mobile Application Testing is a phenomenon of testing functionality, usability and consistency of application software designed for mobiles. It is done in two ways: Automated and Manually. When you buy a new mobile, various applications came pre-installed and some you install as per your need from mobile software distribution platforms such as Google Play, Nokia Store etc. In the recent years, mobile devices had shown a rapid growth rate .  Factors that give an open challenge to Mobile application Testing : 1. Mobile devices models : Different models have different hardware configurations, input methods (some are QWERTY, some are touch while others are normal). 2. Several different operating systems (OS) : Market  is full of availability of different operating  systems  (   Android , IOS, BREW, BREWMP, Symbian,   Windows Phone , and   BlackBerry   (RIM)).Each operating system is unique in ...

INTRODUCTION TO SELENIUM TESTING

By
If you are interesting in software testing and desperately want to work in software testing profile then this post is surely for you, as we know that selenium testing is an important aspect of  software testing so you should go through this at least once. WHAT IS SELENIUM TESTING? SELENIUM is a tool for authoring tests without learning test scripting language like selenium IDE. Selenium is not just a tool but actually it is a cluster of independent tools. And selenium testing is a testing which is performed by using selenium tool. WHY WE USE SELENIUM TESTING I f we talk about the functioning and scenario of today's IT industries or companies then it is known to everyone that there is a mass movement towards automation testing. Not only this but the cluster of manual testing scenario  has also raised a great demand to make to manual testing automated by using various tools such as selenium.  There are numerous benefits which a software tester gets if he/she impleme...
