Hello Folks, I want to discuss about Software QA Testing and other technologies.

Today I want to discuss about What is Regression Testing?

Regression = Repeated Regression Testing = Repeated Testing.

When we do regression Testing? Scenario 1: Introducing new features : if new features/functionality added to the current application, we need to repeat the testing to existing functionaity to make sure the current functionality is not breaking the existing functionality.

Scenario 2: Platform Migration : currently the application server is running on Sun Solaris and now it is migrated to Linux, we need to do test all the functionailty to make sure everything works fine. Here we are testing the existing functionality again. Scenario 3: After fixing defects : Once the defects are fixed, we can retest the defect to make sure the defect is fixed. We also need to make sure the other functionality is not effected by fixing this defect, so we need to retest other functionality related to this defect.

These are the general scenarios we can use Regression Testing terminology in real time.

Thank you, Rao Tambareni
