Configuration testing is a type of testing that is performed to verify the best possible performance of a system and the least and most appropriate configuration that does not result in bugs and defects.

Configuration testing ensures your app functions with as many different hardware elements as possible. For this purpose, it is tried out on different supported system configurations, by which we mean combinations of operating systems, browsers, drivers, etc. For example, Oracle Database and MySQL (databases), Chrome and Microsoft Edge (browsers), etc. The idea is to figure out whether the app is suitable for all of them or not. Every combination of software and hardware is incorporated into the testing process. The team detects the most suitable one among them.
