# Regression Testing
|
|
|
|
## What Belongs in a Regression Suite
|
|
|
|
| Include | Exclude |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| Every fixed bug (as a test) | Tests that haven't failed in 6+ months (archive) |
|
|
| Critical user paths | Tests for deprecated features |
|
|
| Known failure patterns | Tests that overlap with lower-level coverage |
|
|
| API contract checks | Visual regression tests for work-in-progress UI |
|
|
| Data integrity assertions | Performance tests (separate suite) |
|
|
|
|
## Suite Hygiene
|
|
|
|
| Condition | Action |
|
|
|-----------|--------|
|
|
| Test hasn't failed in 6 months | Consider archiving — it may not be testing anything meaningful |
|
|
| Test flakes > 1% over 10 runs | Investigate and fix or remove immediately |
|
|
| Test takes > 5s (unit) / > 30s (integration) | Optimize or promote to slower tier |
|
|
| Test depends on another test's state | Fix isolation — tests must be independent |
|
|
| Test runs against production data | Switch to synthetic fixtures |
|
|
|
|
## Change-Based Test Selection
|
|
|
|
Not every change needs the full regression suite. For targeted changes:
|
|
|
|
| Change Type | Required Tests |
|
|
|-------------|---------------|
|
|
| Bug fix | Test that reproduces the bug + related unit tests |
|
|
| Feature addition | New feature tests + smoke tests on adjacent areas |
|
|
| Refactoring | Full unit suite + integration smoke tests |
|
|
| Configuration change | Smoke tests on affected components |
|
|
| Dependency update | Full regression suite |
|
|
| Infrastructure change | Integration + E2E suite |
|
