Regression testing has to be done to make sure that original functionality is not lost.

We need to test the existing functionalities of the software to make sure that the new functionality has not effected the working of the software. This is called regression testing.

The QA should first test the new functionality added and then verify that this newly addition should not give negative impact. We should go for Regression testing.

One of the role of a software tester is to test that the application is working as intended when new functionality has been added which is called regression testing. This is simply to make sure that the requirements either old or new were met in a business perspective approach.

I wants to give one real time example for this question.

Consider a ticket booking application for film. You have done testing the application and it is working fine in the expected way like login to the application, select film and booking of tickets.

Now a new functionality is going to be added in the application and consider that the new functionality is booking of foods before the ticket tickets as per the user wish.

In this scenairo you can not test the added new functionality. You have to do testing from the scratch. Login to the application, select film, select foods if you want to book after that only you can book ticket.

This is called regression testing. I think you will understand why we are doing regression testing from the above example.

Also correct me if i am wrong.


Thanks,
Rajesh.
