Continuous Regression Testing in Java By Pejman Ghorbanzade

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 which helps us compare the behavior of a given version of our software against a previous version, using a large number of test cases. In this talk, we will review the benefits and challenges of using regression testing in real-world software development projects. We will outline some of the existing regression testing tools in the Java ecosystem and take a close look at the ApprovalTests library. We will also see a hands-on demo of a novel continuous regression testing solution and compare it against other available tools.
