Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
1—Regression testing must consist of a fixed set of tests to create a base line 2—Regression tests should be used to detect defects in new feature 3—Regression testing can be run on every build 4—Regression testing should be targeted areas of high risk and known code change 5—Regression testing when automated, is highly effective in preventing defects. Options: I) 1&3 II)1&5 III)3&4 IV)1,4 & 5 V)2, 3 and 4
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
Regression testing is any type of software testing which seeks to uncover regression bugs. Regression bugs occur whenever software functionality that previously worked as desired stops working or no longer works in the same way that was previously planned.
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
Testing with the intent of determining if bug fixes have been successful and have not created any new problems. Also this type of testing is done to ensure that no degradation of baseline functionality has occurred.
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
Regression testing is the process of validating modified parts of the software and ensuring that no new errors are introduced into previously tested code. II) is the best answer.
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
I think that regression testing is needed for any new change in project when it is made fully. and works good whith automated tools even i am a manual testing expert.
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
regression test is done on regression bugs..esp when there is a known code change. its a repeated test hence automation is most suitable for this. this is most usefull when done on major functionalities
RE: Which of the following statements about Regression statements are true?
Answer: iii) Options 3 and 4 are correct.
Rationale: 1- Though they are baselined the tests can be changed. 2- Regression tests are done on the unchanged functionalities after a new functionality is added or a functionality is changed. 5- Regresesion testing detects defects and DOES not prevent them.
