This would depend upon the scenario. Generically

First you would build or setup the test environment.

1. Prepare the test cases. Check if any special conditions need to be tested.

2. Clearly document the pass /fail criteria in test cases and , entry and exit criteria in your test plan . Get your test cases reviewed.

3. Execute the test cases as per the plan.

4. Document the results and check the entry /exit conditions.

5. Determine the success or failure by analyzing the test results.

My approach for Regression would be,

++ Track the Test Plan for Capacity plan, Schedule

++ Setup the QA environment.

++ Identify the regression suite or draft the regression suite.

++ Identify the strategy to be followed,

Namely

** Regress All

** Regress Severity based

** Regress Priority based

** Regress full coverage

** Regress hybrid (severity + priority)

++ Perform Impact analysis before you start executing the test cases.

++ Execute the test cases, track, report and re-test changes

++ Implement Metrics, Patterns based on availability of resources, time and cost.
