Compatibility
Compatibility Suitability of products, processes
or services for use together under specific
conditions to fulfill relevant requirements
without causing unacceptable interactions.
Interchangeability, interoperability, and
non-interference are differing levels (or
degrees) of compatibility. Interchangeability The
condition that exists between devices or systems
that exhibit equivalent functionality, interface
features and performance to allow one to be
exchanged for another, without alteration, and
achieve the same operational service. Interoperab
ility The condition that exists between systems,
from different vendors, to execute bi-directional
data exchange functions, in a manner that allows
them to operate effectively together. A guarantee
of a certain level of compatibility between
different implementations of the same standard.
The desired level of compatibility is specific to
a given standard, and can be limited to basic
services. Interconnection and interoperability
are the main objectives of standardization.
Non-interference The condition that exists
where standard-compliant components of various
types or of different vendor origins co-exist
within the same space without serious detrimental
effect on one anothers performance. Components
are not required to communicate with one another
as part of a common infrastructure, but only to
peacefully co-exist.
