Regression testing is a pivotal component of the software development cycle - several test cases must be run to ensure that code changes to one part of an application do not impact or disrupt other parts of the app or its overall functionality. All existing and new test cases are executed along with the new functionality test case set. However, executing every test case each time a change or addition is made in the Application Under Test (AUT) is impractical in terms of time, effort and expense. Other challenges include unstable test cases - and defects not properly mapped to test cases - which can be difficult to identify and retest. These challenges can be mitigated by introducing test case prioritization and defect analysis techniques that ensure maximum faults are uncovered by the highly prioritized test cases.
The primary objective of our latest whitepaper is to explore optimizing the regression testing process by strategically managing the test case suite to reduce the test execution time, maximize test coverage, achieve resource efficiency and provide documentation, reporting and other important benefits.
