Software maintenance has become one of the most crucial activities within the software lifecycle and involves changing programs as a result of errors, or adjustments in user requirements. It is well established that new errors may be inadvertently introduced into the original code when a software system is undergoing maintenance. Regression testing describes the process of software revalidation after such modifications have been undertaken. This paper discusses some of the problems associated with revalidation, and the development of a tool to support regression testing, known as Assay.
