Regression testing is carried out both manually and automation.Automation tools are used for regression testing because it involves repeatedly testing the same application,to find out the changes the application has gone through after fixing the bug.Regression testing involves,executing the test cases which we ran to detect the bugs.Whenever any changes takes place in the application ,we should make sure that the previous functionality is available without any break.for this reason we do regression testing on the application,by running or executing the previously written test cases.
