Answer 2

Regression Testing is defined as a type of software testing to confirm that a recent program or code change has not adversely affected existing features.

Regression Testing is nothing but a full or partial selection of already executed test cases which are re-executed to ensure existing functionalities work fine.

Effective Regression Tests can be done by selecting the following test cases -

• Test cases which have frequent defects

• Functionalities which are more visible to the users

• Test cases which verify core features of the product

• Test cases of Functionalities which has undergone more and recent changes

• All Integration Test Cases

• All Complex Test Cases

• Boundary value test cases

• A sample of Successful test cases

• A sample of Failure test cases

You can use a platform like QAppAssure which allows you to test on-cloud and on-field devices, across 100+ device, make and models, Integrate with Jira, CI/CD tools, and also use Appium, Calabash, Espresso, UIAutomator, XCUITest. You can run unlimited parallel tests with the free trial pack.
