How Regression Testing Improves Software Reliability
Testing is about finding bugs, but it’s also about identifying potential issues and regressions that might be overlooked by the tester and user alike during normal use of the application/system being tested (ease of use). If a problem occurs, it should be reported as soon as possible (even if it’s “unexpected”) when the test was initially created, so it can be fixed before any further damage is done. This article will elaborate on the factors one should consider while performing regression testing. What Do You Mean by Regression Testing? Regression Testing (also known as Software Verification) is used to test whether the current version of an application works correctly or not after modifications have been made to it. Regression testing also includes tests of the original version of the application against a baseline test suite. This can often be done automatically using Test Automation tools. This process takes time but is essential for a robust software development project. It ...
