Portability testing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Portability testingrefers to the process of testing the ease with which a software component can be moved from one environment to another.e.g(Moving from 2000 to xp). This is typically measured in terms of the maximum amount of effort permitted. Result are expressed in terms of the time required to move the software and complete data conversion and documentation updates.

Standard Portability Testing includes Water Supply. A standard testing of water's portability consists of drawing a sample from a known property or water source, providing State Certified Nitrate/Nitrogen and Coliform Bacteria Testing, along with E.Coli testing (FHA/VA). It also means providing testing for Total Dissolved Solids, Water Hardness, pH, and Iron Content Testing. A Certified Laboratory must provide proper operation of all Water Softening and Filtration Systems, and provide written results of the above testing with a standarized time frame (2 weeks general).
