What is Regression Testing?
In software development, even minor code changes can trigger unexpected issues across your application. Regression testing is the process of retesting software after changes have been made, whether it's a bug fix, a new feature, or a system update, to ensure that existing functionality remains unaffected. Without proper regression testing, you risk introducing critical bugs into previously stable areas of an application, often leading to poor user experience, operational disruption and costly rollbacks. At PSP Outsourced, we provide expert manual and automated regression testing services tailored for UK awarding bodies and businesses, ensuring your applications remain stable and trustworthy with every release.
When Should You Conduct Regression Testing?
- Before every production release
- After bug fixes or hotfixes
- When integrating new features or systems
- During major platform upgrades or migrations
How we help
-
Cost Efficiency
Hiring an outsourced regression tester is more cost-effective than hiring in-house testing by removing associated hiring costs and overhead expenses. -
Prevent Disasters
Adding new code or tweaking the existing one can lead to software bugs and operational issues. Regression testing catches these issues before the release is deployed. -
Scalability
Regression testing allows you to scale up (or down) your testing to meet changing project requirements with ease. -
Specialised Skills
Have on-demand access to our team of ISTQB-qualified software testers. Our flexible service gives you control of the resources you use. -
Test Automation
Performing automated regression tests before each change speeds up release times and improves testing efficiency. -
Time Savings
If your software undergoes frequent updates, regression testing saves time and effort in retesting.
