Regression Testing

Regression testing is the process of testing changes to web application to make sure that the older functionality still works with the new changes.

In Regression Testing before a new version of a web application is released, the old test cases are run against the new version to make sure that all the old capabilities and functionality still work. So, Regression testing is a necessary component to any software development lifecycle. Regression Testing also referred as verification testing. Regression testing can be used not only for testing the correctness of a program, but often also for tracking the quality of its output.

What we do in regression testing?

  • Rerunning the previously conducted tests and verify the bugs are solved or not.

  • Comparing current results with previously executed test results.

When we do Regression Testing? 

  • New features or new version deployed instead of existing application or software.

  • For check the previous bug issues that are solved by the developer.
