What is the significance of doing Regression testing?

Answer Posted / mahantesha

The term "regression testing" can be applied two ways.
First, when a code problem has been fixed, a regression
test runs tests to verify that the defect is in fact
fixed; "Imagine finding an error, fixing it, and repeating
the test that exposed the problem in the first place. This
is a regresson test" . Second, regression testing is the
counterpart of integration testing: when new code is added
to existing code, regression testing verifies that the
existing code continues to work correctly, whereas
integration testing verifies that the new code works as
expected. regression testing can describes the process of
testing new code to verify that this new code hasn't broken
any old code.
