Regression Testing: How to Get Started

Page 1

REGRESSION TESTING: HOW TO GET STARTED REGRESSION TESTING It is a testing method that makes sure that the changes, modifications, updations done to the code do not alter the existing features of the code. Reexecution of already executed test cases are performed in order to ensure that the existing functionalities are working just fine.

GETTING STARTED WITH REGRESSION TESTING:

INITIATE BY DEVELOPING A REGRESSION SUITE: The testing team must develop a regression suite in order to perform regression testing. Software consists of different functionalities and its overview is contained in the regression suite. These are also known as test scenarios. From the existing test cases — unit tests, integration tests, functional tests etc., it is possible to create the regression suite.

WORKABLE STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE ASCERTAINED The amount of testing that needs to be automated needs to be scrutinized. The agile software development team can benefit from automation, as they perform regression testing more effectively. But, there are limitations to automation and thus a firm understanding is required to reap benefits from automation.

THE NUMBER OF TIMES REGRESSION TEST SHOULD RUN After the development of the regression suite, work on considering how many times regression tests should run. A feasible step would be to perform regression testing each time a change is being made to the code.
