Regression Testing

A website is developed once, but there can be occasional changes to the website. For example, adding a new webpage, or supporting another language to cater locals; or something else.  A change in one module can change something on the website without your knowledge. Also, on the website with time, you may face cases of broken links or page not found issues. All these can be detected by consistent regression testing.

Well maintained Documentation

One of the most important parts of software testing is documentation. The software testing document doesn’t only consist of the test cases and related information but also contains other information such as roles and responsibilities, assumptions, risks, deliverables, etc. This document can work as a point of reference to gauge efforts, progress, investment, and other factors clearly.
