Regression Testing
Conducting tests to ensure that new code changes do not negatively affect the existing functionality of the product. This involves re-running previously executed tests on the new build to confirm that existing features continue to work as expected.
IMPLEMENTATION
Identify key functionalities and areas that are most likely to be affected by recent changes.
Develop a comprehensive suite of regression test cases that cover these areas.
Use automated testing tools to efficiently re-run these tests on new builds (e.g., Selenium, Jenkins).
Integrate regression testing into the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
Analyze test results to identify any new issues introduced by the changes.
Fix any identified issues promptly and re-test to ensure they are resolved.
Maintain and update the regression test suite to include new features and functionalities over time.
TIPS
Prioritize test cases based on the criticality and impact of the functionalities.
Use a combination of automated and manual tests for thorough coverage.
Schedule regular regression testing, especially after major code changes or before releases.
Ensure clear communication and documentation of test results and identified issues.
Involve developers in maintaining and updating the regression test suite.
WHY IMPORTANT
Critical for ensuring the stability and reliability of the product after updates or changes.
