This case study highlights the implementation of regression testing for a prognostic data processing tool. The regression testing was performed following the modification to verify that the updates did not adversely affect the unaltered components of the system.
Prognostic Data Processing Tool
Customer
This project is part of a broader suite of tools designed to develop a web-based application for computer network analysis, prognostic data processing, and fault prediction.
The project's objective is to develop a suite of web-based applications capable of collecting and analyzing network operation data while predicting potential device and network issues before they arise.
The current version of the system contains the following components:
- Web user interface;
- Application server;
- Web services;
- Network discovery;
- Network monitoring;
- Network alerter.
Tasks
Conduct regression testing to verify that the system functions by the specified requirements.
Realization
Our specialists integrated into the client's team and developed multiple approaches to ensure comprehensive regression test coverage for the system's core functionality.
We documented test cases in TestLink, updated the existing test database, and created new test cases to enhance regression quality.
Additionally, we engaged an automation engineer who automated part of the regression suite, significantly accelerating the testing process.
