Regression testing is a critical quality assurance practice that ensures new code changes don't break existing functionality. It involves re-running previously executed test cases to verify that previously developed and tested software still performs correctly after changes.
In today's fast-paced development environment, software applications undergo frequent updates and modifications. Each change, whether it's a bug fix, new feature, or code refactoring, has the potential to introduce unintended side effects. Regression testing acts as a safety net, catching these issues before they reach production.
Regression testing is the process of testing software to ensure that recent program or code changes have not adversely affected existing features. It's performed after bug fixes, enhancements, or configuration changes to confirm that the modifications haven't broken any previously working functionality.
Tests individual units or components of the software to ensure they still function correctly after changes.
Tests only the parts of the application that are likely to be affected by recent changes, making it more efficient than full regression testing.
Tests the entire application to ensure all features work correctly after significant changes or before major releases.
At Brainstack, we follow a systematic approach to regression testing that ensures comprehensive coverage while maintaining efficiency. Our process includes test case selection, prioritization, and execution strategies tailored to your project's needs.
Regression testing is an essential practice for maintaining software quality and stability. By partnering with Brainstack, you can ensure that your software remains reliable and bug-free as it evolves and grows.
