The term ‘regression’ sounds very tedious, terrifying and too technical, but it’s really not.
Literally, “regression” means “going back” to the previous state of your application just to ensure that any new change, bug fix, patch or version did not disturb the existing code of the application and the app runs as expected.

What is different in Mobile Regression Testing?
There is no big difference in regression testing of a mobile application to that of the web application.
This is because no matter what the platform is, the application’s functionality is not going to change.
Example: If the ‘LIKE button in Facebook’ has to work on the web platform, then it should work the same way on the mobile platform.
This means, that the functional aspects of the application don’t make difference in mobile regression to that of web regression testing.
Also, the test cases used for web app regression testing can be used for mobile regression testing.
But, Wait!!!

Regression Testing Services
There are other aspects which should be considered while executing regression test plan for a mobile application.
They are,
- How does the application perform in mobile interruptions?
- Is the mobile application properly getting installed on every version of mobile devices?
- Is the usability aspect of the mobile application up to user satisfaction?
- How compatible is your application across devices and platforms?
- Is the layout and navigation of the application user-friendly?
- How consistent is the application in portrait and landscape view?
These are only few examples. This list will grow bigger based on the number of devices, platforms, OSs, country, currency involved, etc.
But these issues become traumatic when neglected.
