• Does not focus on a flow, sequence doesn’t matter
• Takes the longest time
• Will need multiple QAs

Question 3

When is regression testing done?

Answer 3

Any time new code is introduced, to make sure that it works with the old code

Question 4

Describe regression test

Answer 4

• Done in sequential manner
• Done everytime new code is introduced
• Focuses on high impact business area, high visibility area, and major functionality of the app
• Needs to be re-usable
• Single flow
• Doesn’t involve every single component

Question 5

What does regression testing focus on?

Answer 5

• High impact business area
• High visibility area
• Major functionality of the app

Question 6

Which type of system test needs to be reusable, what does reusability mean?

Answer 6

Regression test. It means the test can be ran repeatedly and it will succeed every time

Question 7

Answer 7

• Both are sequential
• Both focus on functionalities that fall under the sequence

Question 8

What are the differences between end-to-end and regression tests?

Answer 8

• End-to-end has multiple flows, and regression has singular
• Regression test must be reusable
• Regression test focuses on high-impact, high-visibility, and major impact areas

Question 9
