Question Description
Regression Testing is done to ensure that a code change in the software does not impact the existing functionality of the product. However the size of the test-suite grows when new test cases are added to the test suite which increases the cost of regression testing. Regression testing requires running a large program on a large number of test cases which means it can be expensive in both human and machine time.

Suggest in your own words how can we deal with this situation. Your answer should be based on valid reasoning (maximum 5 to 6 lines).

Irrelevant and lengthy answers will result in negative marking. Copy paste answers from the Internet or other students will get zero marks.

Regression Testing

Regression Testing is a type of testing that is done to verify that a code change in the software does not impact the existing functionality of the product. This is to make sure the product works fine with new functionality, bug fixes or any change in the existing feature. Previously executed test cases are re-executed in order to verify the impact of change.

An effective regression strategy, save organizations both time and money. As per one of the case study in banking domain, regression saves up to 60% time in bug fixes(which would have been caught by regression tests) and 40% in money
