Regression testing is performed to find out whether the updates or changes had caused new defects in the existing functions. This step would ensure the unification of the software. In a typical software development pipeline, re-testing is performed before regression testing practices

It helps software developers determine whether or not a system can handle changes without compromising efficiency. For example, general function regression testing measures all areas of the software to ensure features and functionalities have remained unaffected by code or program adjustments

Why is it called regression testing?
 
 
The idea is to run this series of tests every time new code is submitted. It's called regression testing because the verb regress means to return to a former state or condition, which in software, isn't considered a good thing.
