When you want to make sure your website works across a range of browsers and other browsing devices or on the range of different o/s version then we need co-existence testing service.

RE: Co-existence Testing

hi

As for as my view co-existence testing is a part of Compatibility testing here one can test the application as it's working in all types of environments or not.

ex: Browsers Operating systems in diff Softwares etc.

RE: Co-existence Testing

Coexistence testing involves the working of application on different hardware & software configurations. It checks the performance of the application with different combinations of different types of resources.

Compatibility testing checks if the two systems or two different resources are able to exchange the information successfully when an application is implemented or installed. This testing is usually performed when an already existing program is replaced with a new application.

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.
