SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Helps teams create precise, justifiable regression scopes by separating baseline checks from change-driven additions and by calibrating depth based on risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Calibrate scope depth to match risk and release context.
  • Distinguish always-rerun baseline checks from change-triggered additions.
  • Integrate with evidence sources like exploration reports and coverage plans.

Quick Start

Load change signals and evidence, then generate a regression charter that defines baseline scope and change-driven additions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define regression test scope for a release?

To define regression test scope, you can generate a structured charter that separates always-rerun baseline checks from change-driven additions. This approach calibrates testing depth based on risk assessment and specific release context.

What is a change-driven regression scope?

A change-driven regression scope specifically targets areas impacted by recent modifications rather than running the entire test suite. It uses evidence like exploration reports and diffs to justify which specific tests must be rerun.

How do I calibrate regression depth based on risk assessment?

You calibrate regression depth by evaluating change signals and risk factors associated with a release. The resulting charter guides how deep to test, ensuring high-risk areas receive more thorough coverage than stable baseline sections.

Can I use coverage plans to justify regression scope for hotfixes?

Yes, you can use coverage plans and exploration reports as evidence to justify regression scope for hotfix evaluations. This ensures the hotfix regression scope is precise, rerunnable, and focused on affected areas.

What is the best way to separate baseline checks from change-triggered regression tests?

The best way is to create a structured charter that explicitly distinguishes always-rerun baseline checks from change-triggered additions. This prevents unnecessary testing while ensuring release management quality assurance standards are met.

Does this regression scope approach work for feature rollouts?

Yes, this regression scope approach works for feature rollouts by evaluating the associated diffs and risk. It guides which areas to include in the regression charter, ensuring appropriate testing depth for the new functionality.
