Automated Regression Testing for Software Applications

摘要

Regression testing of an application may gather performance tests for multiple functions within an application and determine when performance changes from one version of the application to another. The analysis may be further broken down by input sequences that may be processed by various functions. A detailed regression analysis may be presented as a heat map or other visualizations. A regression testing system may be launched during a build process by automatically launching a set of performance tests against an application. In many cases, the application may be executed in a system with a known or consistent performance capabilities. The application may be executed and tested in a new version and at least one prior version on the same hardware and software execution environment, so that results may be normalized from one execution run to another. A regression testing system may be deployed as a paid-for service that may integrate into a source code repository.
