Four things that decide whether a suite survives.

Quick answers

• What makes regression testing different from other testing?

  It is the same checks, repeatedly, forever. That changes what matters: not how fast you can author a test, but how little the suite costs you between releases. A suite that needs an afternoon of repair every sprint is a suite that gets skipped the one time it mattered.

• How many regression tests should we have?

  Fewer than you think, covering the flows where a break would actually stop revenue or lock users out. Sign-up, sign-in, checkout, and whatever your product's core action is. A hundred shallow checks nobody reads is worse than eight that people trust.

• Should regression runs block a deploy?

  Only once you trust the result. A suite that cries wolf gets overridden, and an overridden gate is not a gate. Run it on every pull request first, watch how often it is right, and make it blocking when the team stops arguing with it.

• How does Testorim handle regression specifically?

  A run you are happy with is saved as a procedure and replayed on demand, on a schedule, from CI, or against a pull request's preview URL. Replays do not re-plan with the model, so they are cheap and repeatable, and each one carries video, trace and a written report.

• What about visual regressions?

  Saved procedures can hold per-step visual baselines, and a replay diffs the step against its baseline and shows baseline, actual and diff side by side. That catches the class of break that a functional assertion passes straight through.
