AUTOMATIC DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION OF TEST REGRESSION WITH AUTOMATIC ON-DEMAND CAPTURE OF PROFILES FOR REGRESSION ANALYSIS

摘要

A system for automating certain processes of regression testing. One or more regression test cases are executed on a current build of a test application. Current application performance data are collected as a result of execution of the one or more test cases. The current performance data are compared with baseline performance data obtained by executing the test cases on an earlier built of the test application. If it is determined that a current performance datum is worse than the corresponding baseline performance datum by exceeding a prescribed threshold, then the regression test cases are executed on the current application build under control of a profiler to collect application data for analyzing the source of the performance regression.
