Workflow Templates: Regression Testing Checklist

Test Environment Setup

Ensure that the test environment closely replicates the production environment.

Verify that all necessary databases, services, and tools are properly installed and configured.

Check that the deployment of the application under test is successful and complete.

Test Data Preparation

Identify and prepare test data for the regression test suite.

Validate the creation and restoration of test data backups to ensure data integrity.

Ensure that test data covers all functionalities to be tested, including edge cases.

Test Plan and Cases Review

Review the test plan to ensure it is up-to-date with the current release requirements.

Ensure that all test cases are reviewed for relevance and completeness.

Identify test cases that need to be updated, added, or removed in light of recent changes.

Automated Test Suite Maintenance

Execute the entire automated test suite and review results for any failures.

Update automated test scripts to adapt to changes in the application.

Remove or archive outdated scripts that are no longer applicable or necessary.

Performance and Load Testing

Conduct performance tests to verify the application behaves as expected under load.

Compare current performance metrics against benchmarks from previous versions.

Analyze performance test results for any degradation or improvement.

Defect Verification

Verify that all defects from previous regression cycles have been addressed and fixed.

Retest fixed defects to confirm that they no longer occur.

Document the outcomes of defect retests for reference in future regression cycles.

Test Coverage Analysis

Evaluate whether the regression test suite covers all critical areas of the application.

Identify any new features or changes that are not covered and create test cases for them.

Assess risk and prioritize testing based on the likelihood and impact of potential defects.

Regression Test Execution

Run the regression test suite and monitor the execution for any interruptions or issues.

Document test results, including logs, screenshots, and detailed descriptions of any failures.

Communicate test progress and results regularly with the development team and stakeholders.

Results Review and Reporting

Analyze the results of the regression tests to identify any patterns or recurring issues.

Prepare a comprehensive test report summarizing findings, metrics, and recommendations.

Discuss the report with the project team to decide on any actions needed before release.
