Question

What are things to be kept in mind to ensure effective regression testing?

Answer 1

Regression testing can get cumbersome, if not done properly. These are a few tips to endure effective regression testing:

• Code being regression tested should be under a configuration management tool
• No changes must be allowed to code, during the regression test phase.  Regression test code must be kept immune to developer changes.
• The database used for regression testing must be isolated. No database changes must be allowed
