Agile Regression Testing: How to Do It Well

For teams following agile software development practices, regression testing is a must. Agile teams constantly make changes to live software that can introduce regressions (or, code changes that break the functionality of part of an app). Regression testing can keep teams from shipping critical bugs to production by confirming the most important parts of an app are still working every time new code is pushed.

Katalon Recorder 5.6: Smarter Test Execution with Dynamic Test Suites and Global Variables

Delivering quality at speed has become part of the quality assurance lexicon over the past few years.

A critical bug made it through to your end-users, and when it explodes on social media, your paying customers start abandoning your mobile app. You feel like the sky is falling! Too late, you discover that this happened because an internal user failed to report the bug. When application performance and stability can make or break your business, how can you prevent critical bugs from reaching your end-users?

What I see too often though is folks running multiple UI tests in an attempt to validate specific output values or logic. A much easier way to accomplish this task is to run specific API tests on the business logic of the software. Why should we do this? It’s much faster and easier to write these tests. We can have our developers supporting this process and not just Selenium or automation experts. 'Work smarter, not harder' is a theory we should all be familiar with.
