how to do regression testing in qtp? plz give ans with examples

Dear suneetham,

If you are a manual tester, you need to run same testcases each time manually for each new build.
Now what you can do, you can automate those testcases using QTP, and you have done.

Now whenever you got a new build, just run the QTP script.

This is nothing but regression testing.

Hi,

The manual regression test cases can be automated using QTP.

The test cases which has many steps that is repeated number times are given more priorty.

Regards,
MaluR

Run the test scripts on different build to find wether the fixes effected the existing functionality thats is the regression, wether you use any tool or doing it manual

Regression testing the idea behind regression testing is simple. We know that changes to an existing system often cause other things to break. To detect when this happens, we keep a set of tests (the regression test set, or the rts for short) containing tests of important things that used to work okay. We run the rts after each set of changes to make sure that these things still work. That's it. The problem is to do regression testing correctly, so that it solves more problems than it creates. It turns out that if you do regression testing almost right, but not quite right, it doesn't work. But it does require a lot of effort in this losing cause that could better be spent elsewhere in testing. (where there's always far too much to do and never enough time to do it.) so we've got to do it completely right. It reminds me of the old woody allen piece where a friend has taken a speed reading course and proudly announces that he's read war and peace in five minutes. Woody: "five minutes?? how was the comprehension?" friend: "good, it was good. The book was . . . Something about russia." and that's the problem with regression testing. It's not "something about russia", and you have to do it a certain way to make it work. There are a lot of similar things that sound almost like the right way, but they're not - and they're going to cause problems. This course will show you the right way to do it. Benefits of regression testing there are lots of benefits to doing regression testing. (1) it increases our chances of detecting bugs caused by changes to an application - either enhancements or bug fixes. Note that we don't guarantee that there are no side effects. We'll talk later about what you need to guarantee that you've detected any side effects. (2) it can also detect undesirable side effects caused by changing the operating environment. For example, hardware changes, or upgrades to system software such as the operating system or the database management system. (3) the regression test set is also useful for a new way of doing integration testing. This new method is much faster and less confusing than the old way of doing integration testing - but you need a regression test set to do it.

Regression:
SDLC(90%): Functional, Regression Testing, Manual Test Cases.
Functional Testing: is make sure all the functionality of the application is working properly based on the requirement.
1- Ananlyze req.
2- Start writing test cases (Manual)......
