Iteration Regression Testing And Full Regression Testing in Agile
Usually, in the waterfall approach, a subset of Functional test cases is picked and the regression test suite is created. This approach is not effective in an Agile environment. The functions of the application are developed in iterations. With each sprint, many changes would have taken place in a functional area until the final delivery. The functional test cases of a particular functional area in sprint 1, may require changes in sprint 2, because of adaptive and iterative nature of development. Best Methods for Regression testing in Agile i. Automated regression testing: Because of the repetitive nature of these regression instances, they are ideal for automation. A parallel automatic run of regression testing can save time and enhance quality. ii. Range of testing: The reach of testing during iteration regression testing can be different from the scope of testing during full-regression testing. In iteration regression testing, a smaller scope can b...
