A company is upgrading its customer portal from version 2.0 to version 3.0. The test team must verify that user accounts, order history, and saved preferences are preserved after the upgrade. Which testing activity is most critical?

Test the new version's ability to adapt to different web browsers.

Perform an upgrade test that installs version 3.0 over version 2.0 and verifies that all user data is intact.

Compare the features of version 2.0 and version 3.0 to identify any removed or changed functionality.

Perform a clean installation of version 3.0 on a test server and verify it starts successfully.

A company is migrating from a proprietary reporting tool to an open-source reporting solution. The test team must ensure that existing reports can be generated with the same data and formatting. What is the primary focus of the testing effort?

Adaptability testing, which verifies the new tool can run on the company's existing servers.

Replaceability testing, which compares the output of the new tool with the old tool for a set of standard reports.

Performance testing, which measures how fast the new tool generates reports.

Installability testing, which verifies the new tool can be installed without errors.
