Explanation

Installability testing is a type of non-functional testing that focuses on verifying that the software can be installed, upgraded, and uninstalled without errors or interruptions1. It is usually performed by a technical test analyst who has knowledge of the installation requirements, dependencies, and configurations2. The main objectives of installability testing are to ensure that the software is compatible with different platforms, environments, and hardware specifications, and that the installation and de-installation processes are functional, reliable, and secure3. Usability issues, such as the clarity, simplicity, and efficiency of the installation and de-installation user interfaces, are not the primary concern of installability testing, and may be better addressed by other types of testing, such as usability testing or user acceptance testing4.
