Why & When Regression Testing Should Be Performed

The behavior of software can be unpredictable. Modifications to the smallest parts of the code can affect the entire functionality, and features that are supposed to work may stop working.
Regression testing prevents this from happening.

WHY

In regression testing, we check that the implementation of new features and bug fixes haven't adversely affected previous functionality.

WHEN

After a software product is modified, QA engineers should run regression tests on every new build.

The Benefits of Regression Testing Services

Makes sure the software's core features work flawlessly.

Provides a better customer experience.

Reduces expenses by fixing bugs early.

An ideal candidate for test automation.

Increases confidence in the overall quality of the software.

Regression Testing Steps

In general, it is not necessary to run a regression test after each iteration of code. Tests of the basic features are enough in most cases, including installation and uninstallation, registering and logging in, and connecting to databases.
Regression testing services take up about 30% of the time dedicated to product testing, and are organized as follows:

Bug verification

We verify that all previously reported defects have been fixed by the development team.

Smoke testing

We then examine the basic functionality. Make sure that fixing bugs hasn't broken anything before proceeding.

Reporting

Checklists with the features that were tested during the regression process will be provided to you.

Benefits of Automated Regression Testing

The regression test is a good candidate for automation. Regression testing is repetitive, and test scripts can be reused - these are the main prerequisites for automation. Here are some reasons why it is a good solution for your product:

Optimization of resources. Every build must be regression tested, and manual regression testing can take a lot of time and effort.

Acceleration of the testing process. By detecting bugs early, we minimize their negative impact on the functionality of the product.

More confidence in the product. If you use old scripts, you will be able to prevent defects from previous builds from occurring again.

Fewer routine tasks. A computer can run a checkup at any time while QA engineers perform other tasks.

Higher accuracy. When dealing with the same set of routine tasks, even the best minds can miss a bug. The computer never does.
