   What is conversion Testing?

Conversion testing is to verify that one data format can be covnerted
to another data format and the new data can be used by the AUT
correctly. 

Typically Coversion testing includes Video/Audio conversion, language
converstion, Database file conversion; however, nearlly any kind of
file can be coverted to another format, so coversion testing is
conducted by verify based on file format specifications, not the
applications. For example, if you want to test the conversion of
Microsoft Word document to HTML pages, you don't need verify the HTML
pages with IE, Safari, FireFox or any other kind of browser, you just
need verify the converted HTML file conforms to W3C HTML specification.

What is Configuration Testing?

Configuration testing checks how the product works on different
hardware and when combined with different third party software. There
are typically many combinations that need to be tried, requiring
expensive labs stocked with hardware and much time spent setting up
tests, so configuration testing isn't cheap. So a bias toward
functional testing also underemphasizes configuration testing. But,
it's worth it when you discover that your standard in-house platform
which "entirely conforms to industry standards" actually behaves
differently from most of the machines on the market.Configuration
testing test global, cross-functional aspects of the product.
