Answer / sunil kumar sahoo

Browser compatible means u have to test in all the Browser
like IE,Mozilla,Opera,Safari etc with their various
version,from my 3 years experience i have faced a lot of
problem for this browser version,some times the java script
doesn't supported by few browser but in some browser it well
functioned.

now come to OS compatible ie ur different operating system
like Ms 2000,XP,Linux,Unix etc.

no such techniques are there to test, only you have to test
the project in different browser as well as OS and marked
the look and feel (Allignment of image,frame,table) and
functionality (Javascript for validation).

Answer / a.sameer

compatibility testing: Testing whether the system is
compatible with other systems( can be OS or browser) with
which it should communicate.

In your scenario follow these permutation and combination
level here

Application OS Browser pass/fail

XYZ app. Win98 I.E. ?

XYZ app. WinXP I.E. ?

XYZ app. Linux I.E. ?

XYZ app. Unix I.E. ?

XYZ app. win 98 Mozilla ?

XYZ app. Win XP Mozilla ?

XYZ app. Linux Mozilla ?

In the same way test for Opera, Netscape , according to
clients requested OS and Browser. Here everytime the
application is tested on different browser on different
Operating system.
