Popular Questions about Regression Testing Answered by ScienceSoft
1. Is automated regression testing expensive?
To reduce costs of test automation, ScienceSoft conducts a feasibility study to check whether regression testing automation is viable and proceeds with designing a testing automation strategy only when automation feasibility is proven. We also continuously optimize automation costs during the project, e.g., by prioritizing the functionality to automate and reusing the developed test cases.
2. Will it take long for an outsourced vendor to dive into the specifics of my software and project?
ScienceSoft’s test engineers:
- Get into your project specifics within 1-3 days.
- Set up the testing environment, write test scenarios and test scripts, and start automated testing activities within 3 weeks.
3. Will I be able to retain control over the testing process entrusting regression testing to a third-party vendor?
ScienceSoft provides regular reports on the fulfilled regression testing activities so that you can keep track of the project progress. The basic set of metrics may include:
- Percentage of software requirements covered by test cases.
- Number of test cases in a regression pack.
- Average test duration.
- Mean time to detect a defect.
- Average and total number of found defects (by severity/priority).
- Effort variance (the ratio between actual and estimated testing efforts).
- RTF Ratio (number of features passing automated tests/total number of completed features).
- Percentage of issues reported by software users or found during user acceptance testing and the defect leakage ratio.
