What
A supportability test checks whether an application runs on a variety of platforms, hardware, operating systems, etc. for compatibility and inter-operatability. This may include testing applications on various operating systems, different back ends, hardware infrastructure and configuration, databases, and other applications which may be required to either interact or run alongside the application under test.
Why
Applications today are expected to run on various environments, different hardware and networking infrastructures, operating systems, etc. Such a test would confirm whether the application would run on such different platforms. Further, a functional, performance and reliability test would confirm all parameters related to the operation of the operation.
How we do it @ Test labs?
At Omnitech, we work closely with clients in identifying and short-listing various platforms and environments under which the application is targeted to run. We possess intricate knowledge on various operating systems, databases, hardware, network infrastructure and a combination of these. Test beds are then prepared for testing which can replicate any actual system as would be in a real life scenario.
