What is the relation ship between regression testing and pesticide paradox?..

Answer / rajesh - king of kings

Pesticide Paradox If the same tests are repeated over and
over again, eventually the same set of test cases will no
longer find any new bugs. To overcome this “pesticide
paradox”, the test cases need to be regularly reviewed and
revised, and new and different tests need to be written to
exercise different parts of the software or system to
potentially find more defects.

Regression Testing: If a piece of Software is modified for
any reason testing needs to be done to ensure that it works
as specified and that it has not negatively impacted any
functionality that it offered previously. This is known as
Regression Testing.

The definition given by Rajesh is correct but the
relationship between the two is that to remove the problem
of "Pesticide Paradox" we have to keep reviewing and
modifying the regression test cases so that we would be
able to keep finding new bugs and hance improve the quality
of software.

What is the relation ship between regression testing and pesticide paradox?..

Answer / neeta

Regression suite is used for regression testing to check
the fixes didn't create other problems elsewhere.

Before executing regression suite , it should be properly
revised and reviewed but if we use same regression test
suite over n over again then it will become ineffective to
find new defects. This problem is called pesticide paradox.
