What is the purpose of bridge testing?

As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions or beliefs. However, in software testing, a bridge test is performed to validate that the new systems or functionality can coexist with existing ones. The purpose of bridge testing is to ensure that the integration between old and new systems or functionalities is smooth, without causing downtime or other malfunctions. The test verifies that the legacy system can support the new system that will be integrated with it, and that the data flows accurately between the two systems. Proper bridge testing can help organizations ensure that new technologies are implemented in a way that improves overall system efficiency and does not interfere with existing operations.
