'''Regression testing''' is any type of [[software testing]] which seeks to uncover [[regression]] [[computer bug|bugs]]. Regression bugs occur whenever software functionality that previously worked stops working. Typically regression bugs occur as an unintended consequence of program changes. Regression means to step backward. It is the opposite of [[progress]].

Common methods of regression testing include re-running previously run tests and checking whether previously-fixed faults have reemerged.
