We make sure that software works and interacts well in different environments and configurations. 

Software Compatibility Testing

Compatibility of software applications determines whether a system can be utilized in different computing environments — combination of operating systems, browsers, third-party hardware and software platforms.

Customers use a wide range of browsers, software versions, display resolutions and various configurations and settings, application developers should ensure that software products operate correctly in most environments.

Every computing environment is characterized by a set of hardware and software capabilities. TrustQA can test applications for compatibility with each of them, including but not limited to:

  • Computing capacity of a hardware platform (PC or Apple, Server hardware or mobile devices)
  • Capacities of networking hardware (switches, routers and modems)
  • Included peripherals (Screen, Pointers, Keyboards, etc.)
  • Operating systems (Apple Mac OS, Windows, UNIX, Linux, etc.)
  • Databases (Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL, MySQL, etc.)
  • Browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.)
  • Third-party applications (desktop, mobile and Web apps, office software, payment processing systems, etc.)

The scope of software testing, list of compatible browsers, OSs, servers, versions and level of support etc., are individually determined for eachclient and particular project.
