   Generally, the automation tools are used for easy use for Regression testing. I think winrunner is best for it.

It depends upon the project domain you are working suppose you are working on projects developed my vb and java.Winrunner is the best tool to go for.

They are also other tools like Test partner where u can do regression testing.

You can use any tool for Automation. Yes any tool that is available in market. You also can use open sources tools which are free.You have to analyze any tool for the Cost, and the type of Automation you want to do. There is no tool exist in the world that you can say this is the best tool. It may be the best tool for Web GUI testing or it may be the best tool for CLI command testing, but it is not a good tool for testing your wireless cell phone, or air craft cabin pressure. So you have to analyze your automation tools according to your need, test plan, how much money your company is willing to spend, and your long term need. You don't want to spend 150K of automation tool which you won't use it in six months or with in two years.Regression testing is subset of your test cases that you want to run it to see if developers didn't break anything by fixing a bug. And again there are many tools for regression testing, you have to analyze each one individually and see which one meets your expectation. WinnRunner is a good automation test tool but it is not the Best. Silk is another good automation test tool but it is not the best. Compuware is another Regression and automation test tool but it is not the best.Open source tools are also very good, you may want to research some of them, The learning curve on open source tools are much higher than comercial ones but it is free. One last note - Some of comercial automation tools are made up of collection of open source tools. Personaly I don't like any comercial automation tools, because they are over priced for what they do, and the sales people exagerate the tool capability. I write my own automation tools, and use open source extensively. Good luck.

Winrunner is the best tool used for Regression testing.This tool is mainly used for Functional testing and regression testing.

Hi Friends,

             My knowledge is concern WinRunner and QTP both are for Functional and Regression Testing Tools.

Def of Regression Testing is:--

             Retesting of System which is already developed or modified by the Developer.

    WinRunner is supported for Client Server Applications

    QTP is supported fully on WebTesting

   In WR is partially supports webtesting, so WR is useful for Windows Applications.

  QTP is used for Web Applicaitons

 Both tools are very essential for Regression and Functionality testing tools

Thanks and Regards,

Hi

 A small Change in my Definition of Regression Testing.

Def: Retesting of the System which is already fixed by the Developer or any modification is done on that build.

Sorry for my previous mistake in Def of Regression Testing.

Its 100% perfect Definition.

Thanks And Regards,

 Kranthi

If we use winrunner as best tool,it fully depend on the application requirement if we are test database it is not perfect tool what iam learn from my experience.other test like gui and datadriven test it is fine .

I Think QTP because it supports Windows based application as well as Strongly supports web based application

Regression Testing will do all the test procedures once u make any new change or add a new functionality.

For regression best to go automation due to it needs no repetation ie rework

Win runner : VB, java, c, c++ etc

QTP         : Dot net and latest advance technology

The main purpose of regression testing is just make sure whether the added functionalitt have been affected the existing functionality or not

Generally, the automation tools are used for easy use for Regression testing. I think winrunner is best for it. becose the winrunner tool is 70% compatable for the regression testing and the main  purpose of regression testing just to make sure whether the added functionality have been affected the existing fuctionality or not

winrunner is best for Regression testing

Regression testing means

   Re exicuting the same test cases on modified build to ensure bug fix work and occurence of any side effects on the system.

usally this test is performed when test cases are dependant test cases

if test cases are independant test cases than re-testing is enough

that is the diff betwn retestign and regression testing

hi,

i think qtp is better than winrunner. its having more features than winrunner . its also easy to work with qtp;

Regression Testing is retesting of modified build so In winrunner is like functional testing tool in this tool we test the same application build useing DDT option to test with multiple test data thats why i think Winrunner is Regrression Testing Tool.

Hi Ben, I'm working as a QA. I want to know where can i get the Open source tools which are free.Can u tell the name of that tool ... and for which testing they are used

Regression testing:

During either maintenance work or enhancement, parts of

existing software will be changed or enhanced with new software modules. In

both cases the modified software must be tested anew. These tests are called

regression tests. Regression testing is the renewed testing of an already tested

program after its modification. The aim is to prove that the changes

incorporated do not introduce new faults or unmask previously masked faults.

Explain the extent of regression testing and the boundaries to post fault

testing.

QTP is the best tool for regression testing.  

Coming to regression testing, Regression testing is testing the application
after bug fixing .Regression testing is re-execution of all test cases of a
testing activity verify that changes or bug fixes made have not introduced new
errors.

It is also one type of retesting. Regression testing is done when application
goes under changes, to check the basic functionality is working or not and as
per the intended bug is correctly solved.

Regression testing is done in two situations
i.e 1. after bug fixes
     2. when new change request comes

simple way : Bug is correctly solved without any side effect .

Defination Of REgression Testing:-
Re-execution of Both Pass/Fail test cases again & again With every changes or fixes (Bug-Fixing) in the application.

Both WR and QTP are used to test regression testing.
Regression testing is 'testing the application on modified build to ensure that whether the bugs are fixed or not, and fixed bugs giving any side effects to existing functionality and further functionality' is called as regression testing.
