Adding new functionalities into an existing application or making new code changes due to bug fixes can possibly result in new issues in a software application. Regression testing is a test approach which helps testers make sure there are no new bugs due to code changes or because a new functionality was added to an existing one.

Regression Testing is put in place just to avoid such situations. Regression testing can be defined as testing done to verify if the code changes in a software/app have any kind of impact on the existing functionality of the product. Check out a detailed guide on regression testing. That’s an issue.

Bug reporting is an important and major aspect of software testing. All the prerequisites for the execution of steps and any test data details should be added in the bug. Avoid writing lengthy descriptions of the problem. If a bug is not documented, the developer fails to understand the bug or worse, reject it.
