Regression Testing

RCRCRC

A regression testing heuristic.

• Recent: new features, new areas of code are more vulnerable

• Core: essential functions must continue to work

• Risk: some areas of an application pose more risk

• Configuration sensitive: code that’s dependent on environment settings can be vulnerable

• Repaired: bug fixes can introduce new issues

• Chronic: some areas in an application may be perpetually sensitive to breaking
