Abstract:
Making code changes to real-world software systems runs the risk of introducing unintended side-effects that are costly to find and fix. There are methods and tools to help us mitigate the inherent risks. One of these methods is regression testing that helps us compare the behavior of a given version of our software against a previous version, using a large number of test cases. This talk outlines the benefits and challenges of continuous regression testing in development of real-world software, reviews some of the well-known regression testing tools available in the Java ecosystem, and introduces a new tool with a novel approach to regression testing, to show the impact of continuous software testing on improving developer productivity and software development efficiency.
