So automatic regression testing is nothing more than the procedure for automatically verifying that the program hasn't regressed to a prior undesired state. Ideally, regression testing--whether automated or not--should be done every time a software program is changed in some way, whether by receiving a new feature, an improvement, or even a bug fix. In today's article, we'll define and clarify what automatic regression testing means. We'll begin with describing exactly what a regression is, how expensive they are for software teams, and the reason you should employ regression testing to avoid them. Since manual regression testing would be equally time consuming and error-prone, we will then proceed to pay for the need for automation, offering advice and tips on how to actually execute the technique for your own teams.
