    • Q: What is a Software Regression Test? Provide some examples? What other kinds of tests are there?
    • A: A software regression test is a type of testing that is performed to ensure that changes made to the software or system do not impact the existing functionality. The objective of regression testing is to identify and verify if changes made to the codebase have not affected the previously working features.
    • Examples of software regression tests include:
      • Testing a software application's previously working features after a new release or update to ensure that the changes have not impacted their functionality.
      • Verifying that bug fixes have not introduced new bugs or broken existing functionality.
      • Retesting a system after a change has been made to its configuration, such as adding new hardware or software components.
    • Other common types of tests include:
      • Unit Testing: focuses on testing individual components or modules of the software, usually performed by developers.
      • Integration Testing: focuses on testing interactions between different components or modules to ensure they work together as expected.
      • Functional Testing: focuses on testing the functionality of the software according to its specifications and requirements.
      • System Testing: focuses on testing the entire system, including hardware, software, and network components, to ensure it works as a whole.
      • User Acceptance Testing (UAT): focuses on testing the software from the perspective of the end-user to ensure it meets their requirements.
      • Performance Testing: focuses on evaluating the performance and scalability of the software under different loads and conditions.
      • Security Testing: focuses on identifying and fixing vulnerabilities in the software that could be exploited by attackers.
