What Should You Know About Interoperability Testing?

1. What Should You Know About Interoperability Testing? Introduction It is testing to check whether a component can interact with other components of the software. Checks the functionality between two systems (software) as per the need. Validates that the end-to-end functionality between two systems is as per the requirement. Need for Testing To ensure that end-to-end service is being provided across two or more applications involved in the system.

2. The systems can be from different vendors and may have various architectures or may use different technologies. There should not be compatibility issues for any communication that takes place. There should not be issues between the different conditions involved. The data being exchanged is not modified and is in its original state. Step Involved Setting up of test environment Creating a test case. Execution of test case. Test Result Analysis Conducting Retests

3. Test Environment Set Up The environment has to be set up for interoperability testing. Creating Test Cases Different test cases have to be designed to check various scenarios and connection behaviours. Execution of Test Cases Once test cases are made, they have to be executed on the environment, which is set-up. Analysis of Results After execution, all test results have to be analyzed and verified. Defects identified should be noted and resolved. Retest After resolution, tests should be performed again. Issues should be resolved.
