How to Overcome Challenges in Application Porting Application porting refers to the process of converting original application code to make it compiler and run on a different computing environment from which it was originally designed. In most cases, the changes are not easy to execute when it comes to porting software from one Operating System (OS) to another, or even between versions of a single OS. Porting is usually quicker and cheaper than performing a full code rewrite, whereas, manual porting can turn into a major code-rewrite if the underlying OS platforms are very different. in Public bookmarkswith applicationscrossdevelopmentoperatingosplatformportportingsystemupgrade
