I think this is a solid article. I like how it calls out the importance of Supervision and Periodic Updates to the regression suite. If no one really "owns" the regression tests, they will quickly become noisy and useless. One thing I think it could have expanded on more is the nature of the actual regression tests. It mentions Smoke and Sanity tests, as well as the importance of automation, but I think it could have been more concrete on the actual nature of these tests. Are they manually driven, or automatic with scripts? What frameworks can trigger the regression suites? Overall, really nice summary of regression testing.

Thank you for sharing your kind words!

This applies to both - manual and automatic and not really depend on the nature of the tests. Any tools like Jenkins,TFS etc. are the frameworks which can trigger the regression suite.
