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.
