| Definition of automated regression testing how this will help users?
As we know these days we need a time to time change in our software as day to day new things comes in to pictures. As well new technology and new requirements are coming. So to accomplish these tasks developer are frequently adding new features, functions and some bug fixing time to time. And there is so much chance that it might break our our old code when we are deploying out new code.
And this will be great disadvantage when new release having some issue and it is broken. And user expect some consistency and reliable experience from software and they are not thinking about the version they are using. And all of the user expects that in new release every feature of old version will work fine if that was not obsolete. And new feature will also works.
To overcome this issue we use regression testing here tester will ensures that new feature will not break the old functionality. And the main goal is to ensure that previously developed and tested functionality still works after adding new code. When tester performs regression testing automatically using testing frameworks and tools it was known as automated regression testing.
And in this testing tester runs suite of regression tests after each new release of software and in case of pass tester continues with other types of testing. But if it fails there is no further proceeding until the developers fix the broken regression tests. And we also say that it act as time-saver for tester which will ensure quality in software before release of it. | | |
