Regression Testing

Hi friends! In this blog, we’ll discuss about the regression testing

Regression testing means the errors that occur due to some action or
activity, whenever new changes are made to a system, we have to re-
run the test case

Regression testing is required

• If there is a change in requirement or code we have to modify
  according to the requirements like new features, performance
  issue fix

Plan Regression Testing

1. Scope and Objectives

• Regression testing will encompass the entire application or specific modules impacted by recent changes.
• It will include both functional and non-functional aspects such as user interfaces, integrations, and performance.

Objectives:

• The recent changes or enhancements haven’t introduced new defects or regressions into existing functionality.

2. Test Cases:

The previous section for a thorough description of the test cases that cover different functions and features of the application.

3. Test Environment:

• Ensure that the test environment mirrors the production environment as closely as possible in terms of hardware, software, configurations, and data.

4. Test Data:

• Identify and create relevant test data sets representing different scenarios and usage patterns.

5. Test Execution Strategy:

The Test Execution Strategy defines the sequence of testing, allocates resources, manages test environments, determines the method of execution, incorporates regression testing, integrates with development processes

6. Defect Management:

Create a procedure for documenting, monitoring, and handling errors that are found during testing.

Benifits of Regression Testing:

• New feature: Regression testing is essential to ensure that new features don’t interfere with already-existing functionalities in unit tests.
• Defect fixes: Regression testing is used to confirm problem fixes and look for unexpected consequences in other advantages of regression testing.
• Code changes: Even little changes to the code may have an effect on other parts. Regression analysis helps in identifying these unit regression testing.
• Configuration changes: Unplanned side effects can also be created by modifying the configuration of a desktop application.

Thank You!!!
