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.
