Test Execution Steps

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.
