regression testing of existing functionality Explanation: In the software testing profession this type of testing is almost exclusively referred to as 'regression testing' rather than 'non-regression', although its purpose is indeed to ensure the non-regression of functionality that was already present before the latest round of modifications. There's a very useful glossary of testing terms available from the ISTQB site - see link. Reference: http://www.istqb.org/downloads/glossary.html |

Reference: non régression in computing context defined Reference information: i.e. non-regression testing "Non-regression testing (NRT) is an approach to software testing. The purpose of non-regression testing is to verify whether, after introducing or updating a given software application, previous software functions have not been compromised. The goal is to prevent software regression, whereby adding new features results in software bugs." Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-regression_testing |
