The re-execution of
selected test cases on modified build to ensure bug fix work
with out any side effects is called Regression Testing.
(Change Testing)
Level -2 (Regression Testing):
During
above level-1 comprehensive testing, testing people are
reporting mismatches between test cases expected and build
actual to development team as ?defect report?. After
reviewing and resolving the defect, development people are
releasing modified build to testing team. In this stage, a
development person is releasing ?release note? also. The
responsible test engineers are studying that release note
and try to understand modifications in that modify build
and then test engineers are concentrating on regression
testing to ensure that modifications.
Level-0
Level-1
Check in  Level-2  Check-out
(Regression)
From the above diagram, test engineers are conducting
regression testing on modified build w.r.p.t modifications,
which are mentioned in ?release note?.
Study release note & consider severity of resolved bug
High Medium Low
all P0 (priority) all P0
some P0
all P1 max P 1
some P1
max P2 test cases some P2 test cases some P2
test cases
On modified build
Case1: If the development team resolved bug severity is high
then test engineers are re-executing all P0, all P1 and
carefully selected maximum P2 test cases on that modified
build w.r.p.t modifications mentioned in release note
Case2: If the development team resolved bug severity is
medium then test engineers are re-executing all P0 carefully
selected all P1 and some of P2 test cases.
Case3: If the development team resolved bug severity is low
then test engineers are re-executing carefully selected some
P0, P1, P2 test cases.
Case4: If testing team received modified build due to sudden
changes in customer requirements, then test engineers are
re-executing all P0, all P1, max P2 test cases.

In my point of view, the time depends on the defect
severity and complexity

Depending on the functionality of the code. if it is
specific to some output then will go for automation of it
my writing own script, eg., using rational robot for web-
based application.
if code is to generate random values accepts only values
from 1 to 100 and A to Z char does not accept any special
characters or unicode charactes with respect to
localization and globlization, then i check whether the
code is hard coded or not. To check a single test case with
1 to 2 minutes of time is enough. say enter 1 and you get
xxxxyyyxxxyyxxxyyxxyy and when you enter the same number 1
for the next time it "should not be" as
xxxxyyyxxxyyxxxyyxxyy it should be some thing diffrent.

(urgent)hi all can any one answer to following questions.i have an interview tomorrow.it will be a great help if any one answer to this questions.thanks all. 1.when ever we get a build do we need to do smoke test is it compulsory,and how much do they spend for test. 2.generally all the testcases are stored in which place in real time.is there tool used to store that testcases and test plan,suppose we are using test director can we store all our test cases in it, and where does entire application test cases and test plan is stored assuming that company is using test director. 3.and when we file a bug,and it gets fixed after that do we need to do regressing testing only on that test case or any other test cases also.how the process will be there in real time. 4.when ever a new feature is added to the application do all the test cases to be re executed. 5. can we use toad, winaql in oracle database to access sql queries.
When to stop testing? (Or) how do you decide when you have tested enough?
