It's not clear to me why regression testing should take quite a long
time. Are you thinking of 1 day, 5 days, 2 weeks or what?
I fondly imagine that with one of these new-fangled computers I could
fire umpteen thousand different inputs at my well designed modular
sofware whilst simultaneously capturing the output and comparing it with
what it should be?
Or should i be thinking about rows of manual testers using quill pens to
note the results?
