Regression testing is conducted to make sure the bug has no effect on your products's performance and to search for some new problems in already examined application. Moreover, regression examining is essential to run when presenting data source or program changes, solving bugs or shifting to a different system or Os.

Here is some information to help you bring out a systematized regression testing.

  • Allocate some time for testing. As time is the first restriction for every software tester, they have to be knowledgeable enough to provide adequate protection of all applications places in short time.
  • Fix all factors. There are situations when even with its problems set the product does not function as designed. This is often due to the developers failing to fix the main problems of problems and solving just the additional ones. Therefore, its crucial to find all causes to fix them before the rest.
  • Be cautious with the fixed bugs. Sometimes when developers fix certain bugs, they may cause the new ones that can go unseen. That is why when working regression assessments, testers should be aware and cautious.
  • Focus on efficient aspects. During regression testing only those problems impacting the apps performance should be taken into account. Design aspects are essential, however in most situations you should not spend a while on them.
  • Build your regression analyse package. Developing such a package is beneficial in order to reveal the bug when the application is retested.

Three steps which play very important in regression test plan are,

  • Selecting test cases for regression testing
  • Resetting the test cases for regression testing
  • Concluding the results of a regression testing

If any deviations occur in the plan?

  • Handle them. Log them, categorize them. set a concern, effect them / evaluate them, agree to or decline them and connect to all key stakeholders.
