This plan ensures comprehensive validation of compatibility across supported browsers and operating systems while addressing any identified issues systematically.

1. Browser Compatibility Testing

  • Test API functionality on the following widely used browsers:
    • Chromium
    • Edge
    • Firefox

2. OS Platform Compatibility Testing

  • Verify API compatibility on the following operating systems:
    • Linux
      • Validate on different distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) to ensure broad compatibility.

3. Functional Validation Across Platforms

  • Execute the core functionality of API across all supported browsers and OS combinations, ensuring consistent performance:
    • API Connectivity: Validate the ability to establish a secure connection.
    • UI Rendering: Ensure UI elements render correctly across all browsers.
    • Response Validation: Check for accurate API responses and error handling.

Test Case Execution

  • Use Xray test cases to document compatibility outcomes:
    • Record browser and OS configurations for traceability.
    • Capture and compare expected vs. actual results.

Defect Logging for Incompatibilities

  • Log defects identified during compatibility testing in Jira, following the Defect Log Format (refer to Table 4):
    • Link defects with relevant Xray test cases for traceability.
    • Include screenshots of compatibility issues (e.g., UI rendering failures or functional discrepancies).

Issue Fix and Retesting

  • Resolve compatibility defects to ensure seamless operation across all browsers and OS platforms.
  • Retest to confirm the resolution of defects.
  • Conduct regression testing to verify no new issues were introduced.

Test Report Generation

  • Generate a consolidated report summarizing compatibility results, including:
    • Success rates across browsers and OS platforms.
    • Details of defects and their resolutions.
    • Logs and screenshots for documentation.

Deliverables

  1. Defect Management:

    • Detailed records of identified issues, their resolutions, and supporting evidence.

  2. Test Report:

    • Summarized results with success rates, defects, and supporting logs/screenshots.
