The build testing process ensures that the build process successfully captures all aspects of the target application necessary for the virtual application to run correctly.
Novell recommends adhering to the following strategies while testing virtual applications:
Conduct testing on each of the six machine platforms identified in Section 2.1, Setting Up a Build Lab
.
Under ideal circumstances, each machine in your build lab should be cleaned prior to testing the virtual application.
It is recommended not to test virtual applications on a machine where the application is also natively installed. However, in some instances, testing the virtual application with older or newer versions of the similar application natively installed is good.
