Regression testing is one of the pillars of software quality, ensuring that new changes don’t break existing functionality. In this episode, we break down what regression testing is, why it’s crucial, and where it fits into a broader testing strategy.
We explore real-world scenarios where regression testing is essential, from bug fixes to feature updates, integrations, and system changes. There’s a deep dive into different types of regression testing, how to build an effective regression suite, and strategies for balancing automation with efficiency.
The discussion also covers common challenges, including time constraints and test maintenance, and how modern architectural patterns like microservices, API-first development, and feature toggles can reduce the risk of regression bugs.
