To coincide with the 30th anniversary of PNSQC, my intent was to provide a chronology of one of software testing’s least glamorous and yet vital activities – regression testing! This short paper describes the evolution of regression testing strategies through the decades, starting out as a research topic in the early 1980’s, followed by development and early deployment by industry R&D labs in the 1990’s to adoption by software companies in the 21st century. Each decade is described in terms of the challenges faced by regression testing, projects are highlighted in which these strategies are applied and the future of these techniques is explored.
