Although regression tests can be done manually in theory, as software systems evolve and change, so will the number of test cases, and thus the regression suite. It will eventually become impossible to manually manage all the regression test cases.
Regression testing is a great candidate for automation due to its predictable and repetitive nature.
Regression tests can be automated to produce a variety of desired outcomes, which will improve team agility and product quality.
Save resources
Automated regression testing and automated testing generally have the greatest benefits at a high level.
Automating software can be set up to inspect specific areas of the software. Then, you can spend your brainpower on other types and bug fixes. Manual exploration of more complicated cases will also be possible. This will improve your software product and give your customers a more enjoyable and less buggy experience.
Choosing a test automation tool without coding can save time and allow QA teams to move through bottlenecks.
Get immediate feedback
Regression testing is usually performed by teams that prefer a waterfall approach to agile software development. It's the last step before a release. Automation has made it possible to test iteratively. This allows for instant feedback loops, a reduction in testing time, and improves quality.
An automation tool that creates visual recordings and logs allows you to quickly go in and identify why tests fail. This not only speeds up feedback loops but also speeds up the fix of any problems.
24/7 Testing
Automated regression testing can be run 24 hours a day, 365 days per week. Scheduling allows you to schedule your test runs so that nobody has to wait to see the results. You can also run your tests at specific intervals (e.g. daily or weekly) to make sure no bugs are missed. Regression tests can be run in the background, so testers can work on more value-generating tasks.
Continuous regression testing makes sure that bugs are identified and fixed before they reach end-users. As mentioned, the visual recordings and logs make it easy to identify and fix bugs quickly and efficiently.
