Configuration testing
Definition

The process of testing a system with each of the configurations of software and hardware that are supported.

Typically the cost of this type of testing is small (since regression tests are re-run within the appropriate environment), but the benefit is very large (since small changes often have dramatic and unexpected impacts - especially on web-based systems). For this reason, this type of testing is both cost effective and provides additional confidence to both developers and users.
