Regressionstest

Erneutes Testen eines bereits getesteten Programms bzw. einer Teilfunktionalität nach deren Modifikation. Ziel ist es nachzuweisen, dass durch die vorgenommenen Änderungen keine Fehlerzustände eingebaut oder (bisher maskierte Fehlerzustände) freigelegt wurden. Anmerkung: Ein Regressionstest wird durchgeführt, wenn die Software oder ihre Umgebung verändert wurde.
