TRICKS AND TIPS TO BOOST REGRESSION TESTING PROCESS TIPS TO BOOST THE REGRESSION TESTING PROCESS: A SINGLE FLOW MUST BE AUTOMATED INDEPENDENTLY: AUTOMATION TESTS SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE PREVIOUS TEST’S OUTPUT OR THE DATA THAT HAS BEEN CREATED IN THE PREVIOUS TEST, WHICH IN ACTUALITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE A GOOD PRACTICE.
TEST SPECIFIC SELECTORS NEED TO BE USED: AUTOMATED TESTS WILL CAUSE FLAKINESS USUALLY WHEN THE TESTS HAVE USED THE ELEMENTS AND HAVE BEEN CHANGED, WHILE THE SPRINT PROCESS WAS GOING ON AND THE TEAM WAS WORKING ON THE CODE.
CHECKLIST UPDATES SHOULD BE FREQUENTLY UPDATED: USUALLY, LOW-LEVEL CHECKLISTS ARE USED WHEN DAILY REGRESSION TESTING IS PERFORMED ON MOST OF THE MODULES. THESE CHECKLISTS ARE CREATED MANY MONTHS BEFORE ITSELF BASED ON THE MOCKUPS AND REQUIREMENTS.
THE INCLUSION OF EXPLORATORY TESTING: IF
THE SAME CHECKS ARE BEING RUN FROM THE
SAME CHECKLIST EVERYDAY, THEN IT WOULD BE BETTER TO EXPAND THE HORIZONS THROUGH EXPLORATORY TESTING
THE TEST ENVIRONMENT CAN BE ALTERED: IT BECOMES A TEDIOUS RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAILY TESTS TO BE CONDUCTED IN THE DAILY TEST ENVIRONMENT. GRADUALLY IT BECOMES A TUNNEL VISION WITH A LACK OF ENTHUSIASM.
