What is migration testing?

[jessie143143]

If your application is migrated from one version to another e.g. from version 2.x to 3.x then you have to check all the functionalities of migrated system.

you need to test whether all the areas are working correctly as it was working in the previous version.

If you database or application upgraded or migrated from one old legacy version to updated and new framework, where there is much more then running the upgrade as there could be change to file system or database structure, then you have to check all the functionalities of migrated system.

for example, migrating from ASP to ASP.NET or from Oracle to SQL Server which requires lot of testing after the migration ..

Migration testing basically comes under Maintenance Testing.If modifications include planned enhancement changes (e.g. release-based) means version upgradation or migration from one to another environment such as planned operating system or database upgrades. Migration Testing should include operational testing of the new environment that it is platform independent or not.

Hi all,
Migration testing:
if we change the version of the s/w then it should not cause difficulty
to the customer.That means irrespective of the version the s/w will work properly under any circumstances.It may be called as conversation testing.it is all about migration testing.

Thanks

Migration Testing:
We use it mainly in case of maintenance or in case of transformation from one platform to others.
When we want to make a new release we need to check that the application works well in new environment. For this we check every possible combination for transferring our old application into new application in new environment. it includes dataloss, adaptability,Usability, etc.

changing of an application or changing of their versions and conducting testing is migration testing.
