Regression testing is a vital component of a healthy and error free release. Without question, it’s critically important to ensure that other modules and processes were not adversely affected by any recent changes made to the system. In 2012, Kickstarter introduces a new API to their web application. On release, it allowed unauthorized access to 70,000 of their projects. The error was found quickly and access was limited to just 48 unauthorized people, but the lesson was still evident. It appeared that while testing was done on the API, regression testing of the entire application was not completed and led to a loss of data integrity.

While necessary, regression testing can be tedious and monotonous, requiring already burdened testers to repeat the same tests over and over again, release after release. It would be easy to call into question the value of expending these resources. For the testers themselves, it’s very easy for them to begin to get lax, not pay as much attention to detail, and take risks by choosing not to perform all of the tests. Simply put, full regression testing after every single release, large or small, can consume precious resources that would be better allocated elsewhere. As we’ve already established though, regression testing must be done. So what do you do?

Every IT person has experienced this. Business stakeholders lacking understanding of development processes, lifecycles, and time-tables dictate an unreasonable production date and demand the development team adhere to it. Doing so generally means a lot of overtime and extra work for each individual member. It’s difficult to speed up coding, and you have thousands of regression tests that have to be executed. How do you handle this? QA Mentor is here to help you with our Regression Testing Execution Factory Services. Whether you are doing database upgrades, server software patches, security patches, data center moves, or new product releases/patches, our QA Experts can take the burden off of your team by performing regular and consistent full regression tests. We work on your schedule, so if you have monthly releases then we schedule monthly regression tests. If your releases are quarterly, then our schedule for you is quarterly as well. Our rates are competitive enough to help make sure you can see an immediate ROI.  

Give us your up-to-date regression suite and we’ll give you consistent, quality test execution by a highly qualified team of QA professionals. Your suite can be manual tests, automated tests, or a combination of both. We guarantee that our team can handle the process for you, find any newly introduced issues, and save your testers the tedium of running repetitive tests. In addition to running the tests, we will update them as needed while we’re running the tests. This doesn’t cost anything extra, it’s included in the Regression Testing Execution cost. This may all sound too good to be true, but use us for one job and you’ll see all that QA Mentor can do for you.
