As software development continues to evolve at a rapid pace and new innovations bring a world of possibilities, one item is often left behind: automated regression testing. The truth is without it, organizations can forget about software quality, security, winning customers' trust or being agile.

Regression testing is an integral, non-negotiable part of the production software development process right from the very moment the first line of production code is written. Its impact goes beyond code correctness, influencing development velocity, reducing long-term maintenance costs and ensuring a smoother integration process during acquisitions. However, companies often scramble to retrofit regression testing into their legacy code, but in reality, less than 10% of these after-the-fact efforts ever pan out. It might be tempting to overlook the absence of solid regression testing in smaller companies, but here's the catch: the long-term costs of maintaining code without automated testing don't just stay put – they grow. It's not just a “nice to have” it’s a strategic investment to safeguard their current operations and for companies to position themselves for future growth, innovation and success.

In this Thought Leadership Session, Jens Wessling, CTO of Veracode, outlines the importance of automated regression testing, highlighting why both developers and the C-Suite should make it a priority from the outset and how to make it a core aspect of your team's ethos.
