Test the developed sw with older version of test environment, to check it's working for  older version of user test environment also.
This also applied in designing sw too, i.e. sometiimes exported version from Flash2004 will not work in older version of flash player at client end, this is due to designer doesn't take care to export it with compatibility in mind.
