What are regression defects bugs

Regression defect bugs are considered to be really difficult in terms of identifying and fixing. In regression testing, there are basically three types of bugs. The first type of bug is known as the regression bug, which is basically a new bug that has been introduced and because of which the system or applicationu2019s behavior has been changed negatively. <br>

  1. What are regression defects bugs?

  2. What is regression testing? These are bugs or defects that are being found while performing regression testing. The implementation of automated regression testing helps in identifying and verifying bugs. When the software testing process is being carried out, there are chances of bugs being detected. Regression testing is performed to make sure that the bug fix has not hindered the working of the existing functionality of the software application.

  3. Following are the three key factors that can be implemented to control regression defect bugs: Initiate by slowing down the testing process: If a lot of regression defects have been identified, there is a certainty that the codebase consists of a sizable technical debt. This means there is a problem with the software quality, which will eventually slow down the testing process. 2. An assessment for tech debt can be performed: Technical debt need to be dealt with in a strategic manner. The team implements slapdash design or global variables in order to meet a short-term outcome or meet a specific deadline. This will in turn incur interest on the debt, as these decisions will make the features that are being implemented at a later point in time to be more risky and difficult to implement. 3. A regression testing plan should be implemented: The QA team must make it a point to prepare a regression testing plan. Regression defects are created through issues in the code that do not mean you can catch those defects before users do. In order to solve this issue, a robust regression testing plan is required. Such a plan can be automated with scripts or record/playback technology. A script can also be created for manual execution. The existing functionality of the application can run through the paces.

  4. Why is it important to prevent regression bugs? For example, when a product has been upgraded, there is a new bug that has been introduced. This will create a sense of false trust between the company that is using the product and the vendor. In business-to-business relationships, this may cause financial penalties in the contract or in certain scenarios, the client may even lookout for a new vendor. Customer issues will arise when these bugs are detected very quickly. When the customer is faced with this kind of bug related issues, then they have the right to expect the testing and development teams to fix these bug related issues at the earliest.

  5. Conclusion If you are looking forward to implementing regression testing for your specific project, then do get connected with a globally acclaimed software testing services company that will provide you with a methodical testing solutions roadmap that is precisely in line with your project specific requirements.
