Regression Testing, Quality Assurance and Automation

Use Cases

Section titled “Use Cases”
  • Repetitive testing tasks
  • Regression testing on applications during releases
  • Support frequent releases and deployments and need to do quality assurance

Benefits

Section titled “Benefits”
  • Save person time on testing, increase people capacity to do more testing
  • Better test coverage due to timely automation
  • Support automation of test data creation, for example for load testing, realistic data creation

Approach

Section titled “Approach”
  • Understand people and application development
    • Need for development and maintenance of tests automation
  • Plan automation, assess existing testing, test coverage
  • Integrate with testing pipeline
  • Schedule automated testing
    • Example: regular regression tests
  • Examples:
    • Regression pipeline
      • Continuous Testing
      • App functionality
      • Security scans
      • Accessibility
    • Use similar tests for performance testing
