Shift-Left: Regression Testing

There are many different methods of testing your software. Regression testing is just one of many examples. However, they all share a common aspect, being that testing software brings along overhead costs in the form of time and tools. The most obvious reason for software testing is ruling out errors in the code, though there are other things we need to test for. We also need to compare the actual functionality of the device against its specifications. This aspect of testing is called requirement based testing.
