Regression Testing Tools.......

Automated Regression testing is the testing area where we can automate most of the testing efforts. We run all the previously executed test cases this means we have test case set available and running these test cases manually is time consuming. We know the expected results so automating these test cases is time saving and efficient regression testing method. Extent of automation depends on the number of test cases that are going to remain applicable over the time. If test cases are varying time to time as application scope goes on increasing then automation of regression procedure will be the waste of time.

Most of the regression testing tools are record and playback type. Means you will record the test cases by navigating through the AUT and verify whether expected results are coming or not.

Example regression testing tools are:

    Winrunner

    QTP

    AdventNet QEngine

    Regression Tester

    vTest

    Watir

    Selenium

    actiWate

    Rational Functional Tester

    SilkTest

Most of the tools are both Functional as well as regression testing tools.
