Compatibility tests - microsoft solution framework

Define Compatibility tests

A system might use a variety of software/hardware components and versions in order to work. To verify that the current system is stable and works for the customer, it is important to ensure various components have been tested with different combinations to ensure compatibility. It is a set of non functional tests that are executed to test the application’s compatibility on the environment it is being run on. E.g. ensuring that an ASP.Net application runs on IE6, IE7, and IE8.
