Regression Testing

The purpose of regression testing is to ensure that changes made to software, such as adding new features or modifying existing features, have not adversely affected features of the software that should not change. Running some or all of the test cases created to test modifications in previous versions of the software usually performs regression testing.

SVIT Consulting UK’s regression testing utilizes the proven methods and processes to ensure new releases, updates or patches do not compromise your systems’ quality.
