Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Regression testing is the re-running of functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs as expected after a change1It does not involve retesting of a fixed defect, testing of new functionality, or applying only to functional testing.Tests that are used for regression testing should be repeatable, because they are used to verify the stability of the software after each change2Reference= ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) v4.0 Syllabus, Chapter 4, Section 4.2.2, Page 291; ISTQB Glossary of Testing Terms v4.0, Page 292

I feel option A is misleading. Regression testing isn’t just for functional testing.

I agree with Delmy. Option B makes sense. It covers both fixed defects and new functionality.

I think regression testing is about retesting fixed defects. So, I lean towards option B.

I thought it included new functionality as well, not just old stuff.

Wait, does regression testing really only apply to functional testing?

I feel like I’ve seen questions that emphasize regression testing doesn’t just focus on fixed defects, but also on ensuring new features don’t break existing functionality.

I’m a bit confused about option IV; I thought regression testing could apply to both functional and non-functional testing, but maybe I’m mixing it up with something else.

I remember practicing a question where regression testing was described as testing an already tested program, so I feel like option II might be correct.

I think regression testing is mainly about retesting fixed defects, but I'm not sure if it also includes testing previously tested programs.
