Main Description

Depending on the modification category, two (progressive and corrective regression testing) types of regression testing can be performed concurrently. This analysis is performed by looking the architectural views, both beharioral and functional.

Key Considerations

This activity is important to isolate the modification already in the specification, to further help the code analysis.
