                     Automated Regression Testing
Ensuring Consistent Software Quality
Introduction
Overview:
One of the important kinds of testing is regression testing which is usually performed by means 
of automated testing tools. Due to this, one is able to detect new faults that may have been 
incorporated in the previous functionalities.
Goal:
This presentation’s objective is to present an overview of the concept of 
automated regression testing, its role in the software development process, advantages, and 
proven strategies for its successful execution.
What is Regression Testing?
Definition:
Regression testing is the process of repeating the already executed tests 
with a view of checking whether previous tested functionalities have 
been negatively affected by the most recent updates. Regeneration 
testing? This kind of testing confirm that the software was still 
operational after modifications, correction of defects or even 
improvements.
Purpose:
Detect Defects: New defects that are seen can be associated with 
changes made in the recent past.
Ensure Stability: Make sure that all existing designs, capabilities, and 
performance characteristics remain fixed and are not altered.
Maintain Quality: Maintain integrity of the software product during its 
states of development.
Key Components of Automated Regression Testing
Test Automation Framework
Structure: Offers the tools and an organized framework to develop, organize and run test scripts.
Types: automated, Keyword, hybrid and so on.
Definition: The tests operations performed through the automated sequence of reliable instructions.
Purpose: Run the predefined test cases which have been set in advance.
Test Scripts:
Definition: Fixtured routines with the capacity to carry out specific test procedures.
Purpose: Run through the test cases which have been scripted beforehand.
Popular Tools for Automated Regression Testing
Selenium:
Usage: Web application testing.
Features: Works well with different browser types and many programming languages, the large community of users.
JUnit:
Usage: Java application testing by way of unit testing.
Features: A basic structure for creating repeatable tests and its compatibility with Integrated Development Environment 
(IDEs).
TestNG: 
Usage: The specific testing framework that can be used for Java is Java Testing Framework or JUnit.
Features: Does support the test kinds, which are parallel testing, data driven testing and modifiable test settings.
Conclusion
Essential for Quality Assurance: The Best Practices: The following 
controlled checking process that is Efficiency and Coverage: They guidelines help in advancing the

in ensuring the stability and guarantee the coverage, and enable prioritizing the test cases, 
reliability of software applications further integration and delivery. formatting the test scripts, and 
after they have been modified. employing relevant tools.
