Installation Testing

Installation testing is often an overlooked component of testing. This type of testing is performed to ensure that all Install features and options function properly. It is also performed to verify that all necessary components of the application are, indeed, installed.

We perform several installation tests, which include installing the application on:

• Computers that have the minimum hard drive space required


• Computers that have the minimum RAM required


• Removable drives (Zip and Jazz)


• Drives other than the default drive


• CLEAN systems (configurations with no other software installed)


• DIRTY systems (configurations with other programs installed, i.e. anti-virus software, office software, etc.)

We also test all of the user setup options (full, typical, and custom), navigational buttons (Next, Back, Cancel, etc.), and user input fields to ensure that they function properly and yield the expected result.

The Uninstallation of the product also needs to be tested to ensure that all data, executables, and DLL files are removed. The uninstallation of the application is tested using DOS command line, Add/Remove programs menu, and through the manual deletion of files.
