Question:  Co-existence Testing

Answer: What is co-existence testing? Why do we do it? What would be the passing criteria for a successful co-existence? Any sample application where you feel we require this kind of testing?

RE: Co-existence Testing
 
When already a larger software is running and our AUT is new, then we need to test whether our AUT works under the larger system (this is only one of the scenarios)

For e.g

Assume we are having Microsoft office 2000 suit already installed and running (which contains Excel,Word,Powerpoint,Access,OneNote,Money etc.)

Suppose MS-WORD 2007 is the AUT (application under test) then we need to check whether MS-WORD 2007 is co-existing with already running MS-OFFICE 2000.
