The software should be usable on system with various software and hardware configuration.

Moreover, with the variety of commercialised devices like phones, tablets, computers, servers of different hardware and software configuration, portability testing becomes a priority. The electronic devices are installed with software like operating system, browsers, etc of different types and versions. The RAM, processor, hard drive and other hardware accessories are of different technology and configuration.
