Challenge
Compatibility testing to cover thousands of devices in a matter of few months
How could the company put in place scalable model to test devices with each new OS release in future?
Situation

A test laboratory of machines with an installed base of different hardware platforms and debuggers
Test design and execution strategy that covered different testing scenarios including:
Device and driver management
Basic and extended functionality
Power management
Applets and utilities
Benefits
Significant amount of actionable data generated through coverage of wide range of popular devices
Data provided valuable insights into changes that would break the new OS release functionality
Test strategy enabled better understanding of direction that further device compatibility testing should take
BOTTOM LINE
Company was able to reliably test multiple devices and put many more devices through the test execution plan for one of the most significant OS releases in its history
