Transferring an installed software from one computer to another.

Building executable (.exe) to run the software on different platforms.

 

Portability testing can be considered as one of the sub-parts of system testing, as this testing type includes overall testing of a software with respect to its usage over different environments. Computer hardware, operating systems, and browsers are the major focus of portability testing.
