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. ------------- MBA Examination papers
