Line 53:

Regression tests can be broadly categorized as [[functional test]]s or [[Unit testing|unit tests]]. Functional tests exercise the complete program with various inputs. Unit tests exercise individual functions, [[subroutine]]s, or object methods. Both functional testing tools and unit-testing tools tend to be automated and are often third-party products that are not part of the compiler suite. A functional test may be a scripted series of program inputs, possibly even involving an automated mechanism for controlling mouse movements and clicks. A unit test may be a set of separate functions within the code itself or a driver layer that links to the code without altering the code being tested.
