• Key Concepts: 
  Software regression is a process used to test the functionality of a software application after changes have been made. It is used to ensure that the changes have not caused any unintended consequences or errors. In SAP, software regression is typically used to test the BC Basis Components, which are the core components of the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Software regression testing should be done after any changes have been made to the BC Basis Components. This includes changes to the system configuration, customizing settings, or any other modifications. The goal of software regression testing is to ensure that the changes have not caused any errors or unexpected results. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When performing software regression testing, it is important to thoroughly test all areas of the system that may have been affected by the changes. This includes testing both the front-end and back-end of the system. Additionally, it is important to document all tests that are performed and their results.
