Testing Applications for Compatibility with Windows 2000

Application Testing Overview

Due to fundamental new technologies in Windows 2000, you need to test your business applications for compatibility with the operating system as part of your Windows 2000 deployment project. Even if you currently use Windows NT, you should not assume that all your applications will work the same way with Windows 2000. Enhancements, such as improved security, mean that you must retest the applications that were developed for previous versions of Windows. These applications might not take full advantage of the new features available in Windows 2000. They should, however, still perform as well on Windows 2000 as they do on the current platform.
