I’m really excited about today’s show because this is one of those topics that I know that I need to know, but don’t know where to start. So, I’m super excited that you agreed to come on and teach me what you know about regression testing!

Regression Testing

• What do you mean when you say “Regression Testing”?
• Why is regression testing important?
• Is there anything to install on your computer? (Testing server)
• What types of regression testing are there?
  • Unit/Functional (Mocha/Chai)
  • Behavioral (WebdriverIO, Behat)
    • Authenticated/Anonymous
  • Qualitative (Sasslint, JS lint, JSON lint)
  • Performance (Pagespeed, Perfbudget)
  • Visual Regression (wraith, phantomcss, webdrivercss)
    • How does this work on pages that have dynamic content. Homepage photos, comments etc.
