  1. Common Challenges with Regression Testing

  2. What is regressiontesting? When a new functionality is being integrated into the existing code then regression testing is performed. This testing method makes sure that the new functionality that has been added does not alter or modify the existing functionality of the software product or application. Through the application of regression testing, defects can be detected at the early stages of development when the remediation cost is still low. Much of the risk associated with software updates is eliminated through the regression testing platform. There is no doubt a few challenges that need to be tackled strategically in order to perform regression testing in a streamlined manner. In this article, you will get to know a few common challenges with regression testing.

  3. Following are the five common challenges with regression testing: • Issues related to the visibility of the regression suite: • Issues related to the regression suite visibility include: • Code changes and product requirements/flows • Test scenario coding practices, element locators, false positives etc., • Team members do not communicate properly • Environment-related issues such as unstable or outdated environment. • 2. Strategizing the process of regression testing: One of the largest test automation suites is used by regression testing and whenever there is a bug that needs to be fixed or a new functionality/feature, build release, then the execution activity will take place.

  4. 3. Challenge to create a test suite: When a suite is being created, there are significant challenges. The testing suite and the functionality scenarios coverage should be updated in the QA environment. The regression suite is reviewed between the test environment or the build releases in the QA instance so that the specific scenarios are covered. 4. It is complicated: When a certain software development project is ongoing, gradually regression tests become complicated to perform. Depending upon the project scenario, there could be thousands of test cases, processes and functions to check, which becomes quite a huge task for QA engineers. In scenarios like these, there are many companies who consider going forward and adopting automated regression testing. 5. A lot of resources are required: After every development iteration, there is a need to run regression tests, but, the time required for justification to run and recreate the tests makes it harder to make the case for testing. These test cases can be executed by external teams and crowd testers and thus the burden of the internal team can be reduced.

  5. Conclusion If you are looking forward to implementing regression testing for your specific project, then do get connected with a leading software testing services company that will provide you with a well-defined testing strategy that is in line with your project specific requirements.
