Regression testing is a kind of software testing that ensures that the software which you developed and tested just a few days before still performs as expected and even if there are so many new changes made in its code. In other words, it is a partial or full selection of already implemented test cases in which testers re-execute or re-run the tests to check whether existing functionalities in software are working fine or not.
What’s regression - “When you fix one bug, you introduce many newer bugs.” If such newer bugs you ignore or don’t check with the regression testing company, what will happen? In this case, your software will be known as buggy and become unreliable.
Huawei's Problem wasn’t Chinese Backdoors. It was Buggy Software. According to the British report of 2019, the watchdog team found that the Chinese telecom equipment was basic but reported the potential vulnerabilities in its product code that caused security risks. At that time, President Trump gave orders to ban this company’s equipment completely. Still, this process was not done because some Uk and other countries' network operators found Huawei’s wireless equipment very useful and budget-friendly. To maintain its reputation, Huawei further started working on its product and strengthened the security protections in its engineering workflow. It encouraged collaboration among industry and foreign regulators and ensured to provide robust security to telecommunication networks worldwide. Even, the company promised to invest $2 billion in engineering improvements.
Now you may understand why it is essential to get regression testing services to maintain the product, reduce defects, protect bug creeps from lack of communication and information, and ensure its robustness.
Give a few minutes read to the points that are mentioned below to help you know the importance of regression testing in software development:
Unit testing is a type of software testing performed by programmers in which they check that a small piece of code is performed as it is intended to prepare. The scope of unit testing is limited. It can be easily written and executed, and its effectiveness depends on what is considered useful by the programmer. Unit tests don’t rely on outside systems.
Unit testing is the initial level of testing in SDLC, STLC, and V Model that is done before integration testing. It is a white box testing method that allows testing of the software components or individual units. Unit testing aims to assure that each unit of your software will work as per your expectation.
However, one can get the regression test done to verify that no new bugs are introduced while making any modification in the system. Another testing is retesting that you should need to know because it can create confusion in your mind and may help you understand something similar to the regression testing. Retesting means performing a test again to the feature or error to confirm that the code is fixed. It is necessary to retest the defect if it is not repaired accurately. After fixing all defects, you can freely deliver the software to the concerned person.
