Automated Regression Testing's Positive Impact on IT Major

Client Challenges

• To expand the service lines and expertise, the client is developing and redeveloping multiple applications through code changes
• Consequently, the client got severely affected by software regression, an unwanted change that occurs from code changes
• To weed out those frequent regressions, the client had to allocate testers to conduct manual exploration. It took substantial amount of human hours along with unavoidable element of human errors
• The problem became even more complex, as regressions are not always caused by new features or the consequences of routine bug fixes. They may get triggered by something as simple as database updates or new browser versions
• It robed of the client from allowing manual testers to spend more time on testing various environments and for merging more complicated cases together at a higher level

Our Solutions

The need of regression testing was very visible in this case We suggested automated regression testing because of the following reasons:

• Regressions happen quite regularly
• As regression testing is for existing functionality, it requires constant repetition
• It timely ensures that no new development causes bugs or breaks
  Once we decided to implement automated regression testing, we
• Engaged the Test generator utilities to automatically create test cases and automation scripts
• Fully optimized test data mapping to the test scenarios with pair wise, 3 way/n way coverage
• Executed parallel test across various devices using a cloud based test infrastructure
