What is the objective of regression testing?
The objective of regression testing is to test that the fixes have not created any other problems elsewhere. The objective is to ensure the software has remained intact. A baseline set of data and scripts are maintained and executed to verify that changes introduced during the release have not “undone” any previous code. Expected results from the baseline are compared to results of the software under test. All discrepancies have to be highlighted and accounted for, before the testing can proceed to the next level. What is load testing? 1. Load testing is testing an application under heavy loads, such as the testing of a web site under a range of loads to determine at what point the system response time will degrade or fail. 2. Load testing simulates the expected usage of a software program, by simulating multiple users that access the program’s services concurrently. Load testing is most useful and most relevant for multi-user systems, client/server models, including web servers. For e
