Hello friends,

What are the different configurations which have to be considered while testing a website?

Hi Friends,
Configuration testing is also known as Hardware compatibility testing. It means testing team verifies build supports hardware technology devices or not.

Test the application in various software and hardware environment. ex:- diff OS, browsers,
memory sizes,processor size etc.

Since you are talking about a website, you need to look at:

1. Which browsers should this website be compatible with?
2. Which versions of the browser?
3. From UI point - What size of monitors / displays are the optimal and the best for the website?
4. Whether the website is intuitive for an user or not?
5. If the website is an ECommerce site, you will have to figure out whether the application has to be compatible with what kind of payment mechanism?

It is all about the functional specs and the what the user wants.

Software Configuration Testing: Software configuration testing is done over the Application Under Test with various operating system versions and various browser versions etc. ...
