Finding regressions in mission critical software workflows

Making code changes to real-world software systems runs the risk of introducing unintended side-effects that are costly to find and fix. There are methods and tools to help us mitigate the inherent risks. This talk outlines some of these methods with a focus on regression testing which helps us compare the behavior of a given version of our software against a previous version, for a variety of test inputs. We review some of the well-known open-source regression testing solutions available in the C++ ecosystem. We use hands-on demos to show the practical challenges of using these tools for testing real-world software, and the benefits of fast feedback cycles on improving developer productivity and software release confidence.
