 Regression testing is initiated after a programmer has attempted to fix a recognized problem or has added source code to a program that may have inadvertently introduced errors. It is a quality control measure to ensure that the newly modified code still complies with its specified requirements and that unmodified code has not been affected by the maintenance activity.

Define regression testing? | Manual Testing

 The selective retesting of a software system that has been modified to ensure that any bugs have been fixed and that no other previously working functions have failed as a result of the reparations and that newly added features have not created problems with previous versions of the software. Regression is also referred to as verification testing.

What are 2 benefits of manual testing? | Manual Testing

 First, since there is no such an automated test tool could replace mankind intelligence, we need to use manual testing to cover the part that automated testing cant cover. Second, before the stable version comes out, manual testing is more effective than automated testing because automated testing may not be completed for system instability, crash for example.

What are 2 benefits of automated testing? | Manual Testing

Some organizations have coding standards that all developers are supposed to adhere to, but everyone has different ideas about whats best, or what is too many or too few rules. There are also various theories and metrics, such as McCabe Complexity metrics. It should be kept in mind that excessive use of standards and rules can stifle productivity and creativity. Peer reviews, buddy checks code analysis tools, etc. can be used to check for problems and enforce standards.

  i. Poor requirements - if requirements are unclear, incomplete, too general, or not testable, there will be problems.
 ii. Unrealistic schedule - if too much work is crammed in too little time, problems are inevitable.
iii. Inadequate testing - no one will know whether or not the program is any good until the customer complains or systems crash.
iv. Futurities - requests to pile on new features after development is underway; extremely common.
v. Miscommunication - if developers dont know whats needed or customers have erroneous expectations, problems are guaranteed.

do u know about configuration management tool, what is the purpose of maintaining all the documents in configuration management tool?

It is focused primarily on maintaining the file changes in the history.
Documents are subjected to change for ex: consider the Test case document.
Initially you draft the Test cases document and place it in Version control tool (Visual Source Safe for ex).Then you send it for Peer Review .They will provide some comments and that document will be saved in VSS again.Similar the document undergoes changes and all the changes history will be maintained in Version control.
It helps in referring to the previous version of a document.
Also one person can work on a document (by checking out) at a time.
Also it keeps track that has done the changes, time and date.
Generally all the Test Plan, Test cases, Automation design docs are placed in VSS.
Proper access rights needs to be given so that the documents don’t get deleted or modified.

What is the difference between functional testing and regression testing?

Functional testing is a testing process where we test the functionality/behavior of each functional component of the application…i.e. minimize button, transfer button, links etc.i.e we check what is each component doing in that application…
Regression testing is the testing the behavior of the application of the unchanged areas when there is a change in the build.i.e we check whether the changed requirement has altered the behavior of the unchanged areas. The impacted area may be the whole of the application or Some part of the application.

If a bug has high severity then usually that is treated as high priority, then why do priority given by test engineers/project managers and severity given by testers?
