RE: Compatability testing

I will write Test cases Combatable for different browsers with differnt version . main thing to point out is..

1) Controls(Buttons Drop down box Pop-down menus Popup menus).
For buttons some times the click action supports for one browser(IE7.0) and it will not work in Mozilla browser(3.0.6). i faced this in my real work projects. In some cases the Popup menus overlapped hidden by other controls which makes inact state In Drop down box lengthy items supported by one browser and another didnot which make break down in text)

2) GUI Check: Check the Graphical interface in the project supports for differrent browsers and components.

3)Interfaces: Ensure that all the links are working fine and should open correct pages.

4)Design issues- Desgin patterns are varied according to different CSS files which afftects the design of the pages for different browsers.

The system is said to be compatible which not only support for different browsers it shoul support for diferrent Operating System & other Hardware Components. My Testcases should covered by those 4points

RE: Compatability testing

We should execute all test cases in different browsers like IE 7.0 8.0 Firefox 3.0 3.1 and Safari 3.1 3.2. Also we have to excute all test cases in different operating systems like XP 2000 XP Vista and Macintosh.

If we have to perform compatibility testing then at least each test case should be executed in different environments.
