Answer / sivgnana

"Regression testing is testing of a build when the
bug/defect re-opens"
The above statement is wrong, Regression testing is a series
of tests run on a build whenever any code has changed in the
existing code, and not necessarily just when a bug/defect
re-opens.

Answer / anuvardhan

Regression Testing is NOT just performed when there is a change in the Code developed. It can also be performed when there is an environment change / Build procedures change / Application Framework change.

Regression Testing is done to validate that modifications to anything (Code / Environment / Business Framework) is NOT effecting the developed Application. So think of all possible scenarios that can effect the developed application before saying 'Performing Regression Testing'.

Answer / gaurav

Regression Testing is nothing but to test the known set of test cases to ensure that nothing has been affected either due to bug fix or addition of any new enhancement. Basically Regression Testing is used to find out the side effect of existing functionality on other functionality.

For eg:-If Functionality B is depending on Functionality A and with the change in Functionality A if the Functionality B is getting affected then all the test cases related to functionality B will be our regression test cases. And If Functionality A & B are interdependent then all the test cases related functionality A & B will be our regression test cases.

performed after the developer fixes the bug and the same is
been infiormed to the test engineer and it is performed by
execution of the module in which the bug is fixed if only
that module is getting affected or by reexecution of all
the modules of that are getting affected.

Answer / aditya

Regression testing is testing of a build when the
bug/defect re-opens.

for eg. a bug is found is build1, it is reported to a
developer, u execute the same script on build2, if it re-
opens it is nothing but regression testing.

When we talk about manually performsing regression
testing ,its nothing but executing the same test case on
various builds and it should be the same when it comes to
automation too as regression testing is a main candidate
for regression testing.
