A Game Plan to Build Optimized Regression Testing in Agile Methodologies Using Test Prioritization

Substantially, every software system is not completely bug-free. However, software industries usually apply a lot of convincing strategies to ensure the delivery of bug-free software products. Due to the iterative and incremental nature of Agile projects, testing activities are simultaneously organized by the Scrum Masters along with the routine development exercises. Regression testing is such type of testing technique that is performed to corroborate and ensure the impact of any new code in the existing modules of the software product. Proper optimization practices can reduce the efforts and time required to conduct Regression Testing. Although, it is quite challenging to optimize regression testing activities. So there is a need to implement an automotive regression testing mechanism that is based on associated risks and test prioritization to reduce the testing time and effort of testing engineers. In this research paper, we discussed the challenges and strategies to develop optimized regression testing in Agile methodologies. By adopting this mechanism, professionals can reduce their testing effort and time while developing Agile software products to a great extent.
