Regression Testing is one of the many methods used in the field
of software testing. Software testing is carried out to ensure
that the software is error-free. There can be failures or
glitches encountered during the development phase of the
software. These errors affect the efficiency and working of the
software and thus have to be resolved.
Regression testing services include
methods in which it is made sure that any recent changes in the
software or its code do not alter or affect its features. The
process includes the re-use of test cases to ensure proper
functionality.
Carrying out regression tests help to improve the quality
of the product by also ensuring that any bug problems are fixed
and the issues do not occur again.
TESTRIQ is one of the many software testing companies that
offer regression testing services.
Each unit is tested individually in the unit testing phase itself. The testing for the code is carried out in isolation.
It is carried out to make sure that even after the changes
made, the software code is functional.
It is carried out to ensure the working of software when changes have been made in more than one module. It is a collectively assessing process.
How do we test?
Selecting the tests : Choosing the correct tool for the process
Verifying the progress by using checkpoints :
Managing
updates when required
Scheduling tests : Integrating and analyzing the reports
It is ideal to conduct a regression test at the end of
functional testing, right after the sanity test.
