using compatability testing we can find out that our application will be running with all the compatability like, browser, computer, os,etc.

For e.g:- In IE6 the page look good but if i go and check in IE7 the same page not looks good shows error "semicolor is missing", "comma is missing" or JS error.

In Compatability Testing we have to validate the application under different OS and browsers 2 types 


1.Forward Compatability: Developed appln. under one OS should works fine on the future versions.

Eg. If the application is developed under Windows 95 means it should also works fine in Windows 2000.

2. Backward Compatability: Developed application under one OS should works fine on the past versions.         

Eg. If the application is developed under Windows 7 means it should also works fine in Windows 2000.
