The main purpose of the regression testing is, Just make sure whether the added functionality have been affected the existing functionality or not.

Typically we test the entire application in Regression testing.

regression testing is necessary to ensure that any bug fixes or code changes have not caused any side effects to the present version of the product.

Ii is conducted at every stage(i.e., Integration and system testing stages) after smoke testing

Regression testing is testing the appliction after any bug fixes or modifications. It is verifying whether the bug fix/modification has any effect on any other areas of the application.

For ex: After modify the functionalities of the application it may effect the application's behavior somewhere. So we have to identify the major effected areas and verify them

If we change the label of 'submit' button as 'save' it may not effect the behavior of application.But if you modify the functinality of 'submit' button it ill effect somewhere.

Regression testing can be conducted at any stage (Unit, Integration or system Level). When ever there is a bug fix or modification to existing functionality we can perform this testing.

 To cjesk the impact of the added functionality, features, on the another part of the appliction is called regression testing. 

Generally it will happened once developer fixeds the bugs and changes in the requirements and functionality of the application.

Regression testing  is  a type of testing where the already tested functionality is once again tested.it is necessary bcoz it is required to make the developed product is defect free.

  it is necessary bcoz when  build#1 is released to testing department then  a test engg. tests the defect functionality as well as the related functionality.

 after  rectification by the develoer and the next build is released to testing department with the new changes  as build#2. then the test engg. once again tests the already tested functionality in spite of new changes are incorporatedonly for selected testcases not for the whole testcases.

Regression Testing : Testing an already tested functionality when an addition functionality or bug is fixed is know as regression testing .

  Was this answer useful?  Yes

Regression test is necessary because when any bug is fixed or any new module is introduced to or deleted from the application, it may happen that any other module/part of the application is affected.

So regression testing is done to check whether other modules are affected by the change/fixation of the application.

Stage: It is done when any module is fixed or any new module is added to or deleted from the application.

The purpose of regression testing is that any new change in the application should NOT introduce any new bug in existing functionality, because in Regression testing we check all the related modified functionality working fine or not.
