Can a butterfly flapping its wings cause a tornado somewhere else in the world?
Bug fix → break other code? REGRESSIONS [undesirable side effects of modifications]
Stop butterflies from causing tornadoes: preventing regressions CS2103/T, Lecture 1, Part 3, [Aug 16, 2013]

other test cases TEST CASE test input expected output Compare Regression test mismatch = Software Under Test (SUT) actual output Debug modify For this to work: 1. Document test cases 2. Automate testing bug located!
1. Document test cases exploratory • testing • scripted testing Test case 1: input: expected: Test case 2:
2. Automate testing (for Text UIs) C:\Java MinesweeperTextUI C:\ FC actual.txt expected.txt Comparing files actual.txt and expected.txt FC: no differences encountered <input.txt >actual.txt
let us do regression testing, REGRESSIONS preferably scripted, preferably automated.
