Benefits of Regression Testing

Cutthroat competition and customers’ expectation encourages businesses to build more powerful tools by enhancing or adding new features. Whether these changes are small or big, simple or complex, it affects the existing functionality as well and brings unexpected issues. Hence, it is important to test existing features of the application to ensure induction of new changes has not impacted them. This is called “Regression Testing”.

  1. BENEFITS OF REGRESSION TESTING

  2.  Cutthroat competition and customers’ expectation encourages businesses to build more powerful tools by enhancing or adding new features. Whether these changes are small or big, simple or complex, it affects the existing functionality as well and brings unexpected issues.  Hence, it is important to test existing features of the application to ensure induction of new changes has not impacted them. This is called “Regression Testing”. Regression testing is indispensable to identify the underlying bugs and other technical flaws within the software program.  In its simple terminology, Regression Testing refers to the retesting of the previous changes to a software program ensuring its optimum efficacy in the current operating environment. QA testers and web application testing professionals must understand the benefits of regression testing and use the same extensively.

  3. Testing forms an important part of the application development process to confirm the apt software coding by the developers. It is a highly technical operation requiring an immense level of knowledge and experience in software and application development process. Thanks to timely intervention by quality software testers, and use of high-quality testing tools like actiWate, QTP, Selenium, SilkTest, Rational Functional Tester and Watir that automatically test the software and prevent any further mess. Considering the efforts and time, regression-testing tools are faster, prompter, safer and more accurate than manual software testing. That’s the reason why every software firm opts for regression testing tools of its each enhancement, patches, and configuration changes. It can save 80% in testing – which is far more difficult and cumbersome than an automated testing.

  4. INCREASE MORE TEST COVERAGE IN LESS TIME: Testing takes the considerable efforts and time to coverage entire software. However, regression testing executes the selected scenarios and ensures functionalities work smoothly. Moreover, data inputs or devices can be changed on every run. KNOW THE PROBLEMATIC BUGS EARLIER: Regression testing lets a firm knows which bug is causing problems to application following the software changes. Engineers can easily modify or replace the application code with the apt value to remove the bugs.

  5. HIGH-QUALITY SOFTWARE: Regression testing ensures system stability while enhancing the application continuously. It executes the same steps repeatedly and allows the team with shorter development cycles by ensuring the high-quality of software. INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND COST EFFECTIVE: Automation of regression test cases allows the firms to keep the cost low by minimizing the team and involvement of human interaction. At the same time, resources can focus on more strategic and important tasks.
