Regression testing – What, Why, When, and How to Run It?

Learn the basics of regression testing in this video. We’ll briefly explain what regression testing is and why it is important. Also, we’ll shed some light on regression testing techniques and the role of automation in this process.

Regression testing takes around 30% of all the testing activities. If you want to make sure your software keeps functioning as supposed after code iterations (updates, bug fixes, etc.), the QA Madness team can cover the regression testing activities. Learn more:

Regression testing (rarely, non-regression testing) is re-running functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs after a change. If not, that would be called a regression.

Changes that may require regression testing include bug fixes, software enhancements, configuration changes, and even substitution of electronic components. As regression test suites tend to grow with each found defect, test automation is frequently involved. Sometimes a change impact analysis is performed to determine an appropriate subset of tests (non-regression analysis).

Thank you very much for such a simple and good explanation !!! Looking forward for more videos. =)

short video and a lot of information... Thank you

[xyzzy]

well that's... very simple. I assumed regression testing had to do with using linear regression to find values that lead to the code not passing tests.

This explanation is way better than my instructors lol. Thanks

Thank you very much it was very useful for me
