Cloud-based testing has become quite integral these days. Most businesses have already done the shift towards cloud-based testing. The traditional testing that was done on the software installed on local servers is now slowly fading away. Cloud-based testing comprises cloud-based test automation as well.

Regression testing is one of the most critical aspects of quality assurance. It goes without saying that adopting effective regression testing strategies can save development teams hundreds of hours of debugging. Before taking up the task of regression testing, the team needs to define the test framework that they plan to use.
