Things Could Get Worse: Ideas About Regression Testing
Michael Bolton
DevelopSense
One of the important tasks in testing is to make sure that things that have been working continue to work as they always have. To do that, we must repeat tests that we’ve performed before. But is that the only way to think about it? In this webinar, Michael confronts the regression testing hypothesis, and raises questions that will help you to think about your regression testing strategy.
Key Takeaways:
- Examine the motives and causes for regression testing
- Ask how you might detect and prevent regression more quickly, less expensively, and more reliably
