In my world our network admins control or push out updates to all workstations and the apps I support are internal apps so variety is not a concern however in the past I have worked on projects which were customer facing and the software worked well on one machine but would fail on others due to OS, Browser settings (especially JavaScript setttings!) as well as a variety of other random things. I think it is important to define the scope of testing including these factors in your test plan to make sure you have covered everything the app is supporting I agree variety needs to be accounted for in testing especially for web apps that are not for internal use.

It is checking for variance and deviation in its barest form, but industrial QA as a discipline is about both measuring that deviation and then understanding it. It's testing - just a very different kind. Carla,
