State:
4 benefits of software testing
Software Testing
- Security - means software can be trusted
- Cost effective - cheaper than constant fixes later on

True or False:
Compatibility testing is a type of functional testing
Compatability Testing
False - It is non-functional testing
Explain:
4 forms of compatability testing
Compatability Testing
4 of:
* Hardware - Check software compatible with diff. hardware configs
* Operating System - Ensure that software is compat. with different OSs
* Software - Ensure compat. with other software
* Network - Test in network env. variate: bandwith, speed, capacity
* Browsers- Different browser testing
* Devices - Different types of device; printers, USB devices, Bluetooth etc.
* Mobile - Ensure compatible with Android and IOS platforms and mobile OS platforms; must be adaptive and respond to other; input methods, screen orientation, browser types
* Software Versions - Test to ensure compat. with different versions of software being interacted with
* Data - Test using data to confirm functionality
Define:
Backward compatibility
Compatability Testing
Confirm hardware/software is compatible with older versions of software and hardware already installed or in use
Define:
Forward compatibility
Compatability Testing
Ensure software/hardware is compatible with new versions of hardware/software
Define:
Beta testing
Resulting Service (final product)
