Regression Testing

Summary

Regression testing is a type of software testing that ensures that previously developed and tested software still performs after a change such as an update or enhancement.

Detailed Description

Regression testing involves re-running functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs after a change in the code, environment, or configuration. It is critical in ensuring that new updates do not introduce errors or negatively impact existing functionalities. The goal is to catch any defects introduced into previously working code as a result of changes or enhancements in the software, thereby maintaining software quality and performance over time.
