How to improve regression testing?

1.   Prioritize Test Case: Focus on high-risk areas, frequently updated components, and critical business functionalities. Use risk-based testing to identify which features require the most attention.
2. Automate Regression Testing: Automate repetitive tests using tools such as Selenium, Appium, or WinAppDriver. Maintain automation scripts for easy updates and run smoke/sanity tests before the full suite.
3. Create a Modular Regression Test Suite: Organize tests into modules, enabling targeted execution for specific updates. Track test case versions to ensure only affected areas are tested.
4. Optimize Test Data Management: Use stable, reusable, and automated test data. Implement data-driven testing for greater coverage with fewer test cases.
5. Integrate with CI/CD Pipelines: Automate regression tests using CI tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI. Enable parallel test execution to reduce total runtime.
6. Maintain and Update Test Suites: Regularly remove obsolete tests and adapt to application changes. Use dynamic test selection tools to execute only relevant tests.
7. Utilize Virtualization/Containerization: Leverage tools such as Docker to create stable and consistent testing environments.
8. Leverage Metrics and Reporting: Track test coverage and focus on untested or critical areas. Use detailed reports to quickly identify and address test failures.
9. Adopt a Hybrid Testing Strategy: Combine manual testing for complex scenarios with automated testing for repetitive tasks.
10. Test on Real Devices or Cloud Platforms: Run tests on real devices or browser-cloud platforms for realistic conditions.
