Continuous Automated Regression Testing to the Rescue

A major concern when developing new software features is that another part of the code will be affected in unexpected ways. With a typical development processes, testers often do not run a full set of product regression tests until late in the release when it is much more costly to fix and retest the product. Continuous automated regression testing to the rescue! Brenda Kise describes the team, project, and organization value and benefits of continuously performing automated regression tests throughout the development process. Brenda explains how this practice saves time and money in the long-run because the team and stakeholders gain an ongoing understanding of the quality of the code base every time a new build becomes available. Brenda describes the different approaches for introducing the practices of  continuous automated regression testing into your organization. Find out how to create your immediate feedback mechanism to highlight the new code that creates regression defects.
