What is Automated Regression Testing?
Automated regression testing uses testing tools to create, execute, and report regression tests. It involves testing a software product or application using automated tools and techniques after making an update or change in the product. The automation process uses test scripts, workflow, and other processes within a regression testing technique
Manually performing regression tests is time-consuming and laborious. However, with the right approach to automated regression testing, software firms can minimize the time and money spent identifying and resolving application bugs
Automate regression testing when :
The tests are
repeatable
Code base undergoes
frequent changes
There are a large
number of test suites
A quick feedback loop is necessary
Techniques for Automated
Regression Testing
Retest All
Execute all the existing test cases present in a collection without missing a single one. This technique is a bit expensive as it requires more time and resources
Regression Test Selection
A subset of the test suite is selected for execution instead of selecting all the test cases. They are categorized as reusable, which are used in succeeding regression cycles, and obsolete, which are not used in succeeding regression
Prioritizing Test Cases
Test cases are prioritized based on their frequency of use. Executing tests with higher priority minimizes the cost and time spent on testing
