Regression Testing

Regression testing is an important aspect of software testing that focuses on ensuring the stability, reliability, and quality of an application after changes or enhancements have been made. It involves retesting previously tested functionalities to identify any unintended side effects or regressions caused by recent modifications.

Comprehensive regression testing aims to validate that existing features, functionalities, and integrations remain intact and unaffected by new code changes, bug fixes, or system updates. It helps ensure that the application continues to perform as expected, delivering a consistent and reliable user experience.

The process itself involves a systematic approach to select and prioritise test cases, covering critical areas of the software that are prone to potential regressions. It may include rerunning existing test cases, creating new test cases specifically designed to uncover regressions, or utilising automated regression testing tools and frameworks.

What are the main objectives of effective Regression Testing?

Bug Detection

Regression testing helps identify any new defects or issues that may have been introduced due to recent changes or fixes. By retesting the software, testers can catch bugs early in the development cycle, reducing the risk of delivering a flawed product to users.

Risk Mitigation

Importantly, regression testing mitigates the risks associated with code changes, system updates, or integration modifications. It helps ensure that critical business processes and functionalities are not adversely affected by alterations, reducing the chances of costly errors or disruptions in production environments.

Stability and Quality Assurance

Thorough regression testing ensures that software stability is maintained. It provides confidence that the application remains reliable and performs consistently across multiple iterations, preventing the recurrence of previously resolved defects or performance degradation.
