Regression Testing Practice Exam

About Regression Testing
Regression testing is a software testing practice that ensures an application still functions as expected after any code changes, updates, or improvements.

Regression testing is responsible for the overall stability and functionality of the existing features. Whenever a new modification is added to the code, regression testing is applied to guarantee that after each update, the system stays sustainable under continuous improvements.

Changes in the code may involve dependencies, defects, or malfunctions. Regression testing targets to mitigate these risks, so that the previously developed and tested code remains operational after new changes.

Generally, an application goes through multiple tests before the changes are integrated into the main development branch. Regression testing is the final step, as it verifies the product behaviors as a whole.

Why is Regression Testing important?
The Need of Regression Testing mainly arises whenever there is requirement to change the code and we need to test whether the modified code affects the other part of software application or not. Moreover, regression testing is needed, when a new feature is added to the software application and for defect fixing as well as performance issue fixing.

With a rapid regression testing process, product teams can receive more informative feedback and respond instantly. Regression testing detects new bugs early in the deployment cycle so that businesses do not have to invest in costs and maintenance efforts to resolve the built-up defects. Sometimes a seemingly mild modification might cause a domino effect on the product’s key functions.
