  1. 5 Keys to a Successful Regression Testing Suite

  2. Regression testing has changed significantly over the past 10 years. There is no longer a time when tests for regression ran for weeks, or months, using the same build of code. Regression testing suites need to be slim efficient, effective and cost-effective. Whatever the method of development, software developers must produce high-quality code at a fast rate to meet the demands of customers and stay ahead of the market. 

  3. Why is regression testing so important? • Regression testing enhances the quality of the code before it is released. If it's not continuous Regression testing is usually conducted during a time frame prior to the date of release. Regression testing shows that the new code is able to be integrated seamlessly into the existing codebase, without causing any complications.  • If the application continues operate as it did before and the regression testing suite is verified and the new release code is approved to be distributed to customers. • How do you create a regression testing suite • There are a variety of methods to build an effective testing suite for regression. To increase efficiency and effectiveness within a limited timeframe take a look at a few possibilities. It is possible to create an automated regression testingsuite by with groups that include tests that test the full capabilities of the application.  • No matter which method you select you will need to follow these five steps in the process of creating your regression testing suite: • classify tests with high priority • Create smoke tests • Mix in some tests that are manual • Verify integrations • Evaluate the performance

  4. 1. You should prioritize the regression test you are taking. In the process of developing a regression test suite, the primary factor should be to incorporate tests which are crucial or of high importance. Tests with high priority focus on the primary aspects or the basic processes of the application.  2. Create smoke tests When you are putting your most critical and important test results into an regression set-up, identify it as"smoke" or "smoke testing suite" and run it every day at least bi-weekly, or every version. Perform the smoke tests prior to any other testing is scheduled to prevent unnecessary shutdowns and loss in work time. 3. Do some manual work Then, you can create a set of tests to test the fundamental capabilities of the application. These are typically workflows that which automated tools are unable to handle because of the integrated complex interplays involved.  4. Test the integrations Run a regression tool that test your API connections along with back-end messaging engines as well as data feeds. Test any integrated process your application needs but that the user does not see. It's true that creating an automated regression test suite for these kinds of processes is time-consuming and often requires help from IT or developers however it's worthy of the time and effort.

  5. Conclusion Regression testing is an absolute priority to ensure that all functions and features are functioning effectively. We need to make sure the regression suites are reliable and have a high value. It is essential to put the importance and upkeep of the regression test suite. Regression test suites should be able of achieving their objectives at any time they are in use. It is the job of the team to ensure the suite is prepared to run at any moment.
