The suite maintains itself
A regression suite is only as good as its upkeep. Testnova generates test cases from your requirements, turns them into runnable scripts grounded in your live app, and — crucially — repairs those scripts when the UI shifts, proposing each fix as a pull request. The suite grows as you add features and stays green without an engineer babysitting it every sprint.
- Regression cases generated from requirements and re-run every release.
- Scripts repaired automatically when selectors or flows change.
- A traceability matrix showing which requirements are still covered.
- CI gating so a regression blocks the release before it ships.
Functional, visual, and performance regressions
Regressions aren’t only broken buttons. A layout can shift, a page can slow down, an element can lose its accessibility label. Alongside functional regression runs, Testnova watches how your pages look and how fast they load, so a visual or performance regression surfaces in the same report as a failing assertion instead of reaching your users unnoticed.
Real failures stay red
A self-maintaining suite is dangerous if it hides real breakage to stay green. Testnova draws a hard line: only environmental drift — a moved button, a renamed field — is auto-healed. A genuine regression stays red and becomes a bug report with steps to reproduce, expected result, and observed result. The suite you can trust is the one that still fails when something is actually broken.
Across web, mobile, and API
The same regression cases can run on real browsers, on real Android devices, and against your APIs, so a release is checked across your whole stack from one platform. Results export as JUnit and Allure, confirmed regressions push to Jira, and summaries arrive by email and Slack.
Frequently asked questions
What is a regression testing tool?
A regression testing tool re-runs your existing tests after every change to confirm that new work didn’t break something that used to work. Testnova generates the regression suite, re-runs it each release on real browsers and devices, and repairs the scripts automatically as the app changes so the suite doesn’t decay.
How does Testnova stop my regression suite from rotting?
It re-grounds tests against the live screen when the UI shifts, repairs the affected scripts, and opens the fix as a pull request. You review a small diff instead of rewriting tests by hand, so the suite keeps pace with the app instead of falling behind it.
Can it gate my CI pipeline on regressions?
Yes. Trigger a regression run from CI over the REST API, gate the release on the result, and consume JUnit or Allure output. A confirmed regression fails the pipeline before the change reaches production.
Does it catch visual and performance regressions too?
Yes. Beyond functional assertions, Testnova checks how pages render across breakpoints and how fast they load, so layout shifts and performance regressions are caught alongside broken functionality.
