Features of using the regression test selection method for automated testing of the graphical user interface in the development of information systems that consist of a set of modules are considered. The source of the need to create additional test environments required in the development of multi-module information systems that are using databases is specified. The three most popular approaches to organizing test environments – Copying, Scaling, and Scaling with synthetic data generation – are considered. The positive and negative sides are considered in terms of implementation, using, and resources spent on creating and maintaining resources, as well as in terms of the reliability of the results obtained in the process of testing models created using these approaches. The positive aspects of checking the quality of complex multi-module information systems from the point of view of the graphical user interface by various testing methods and, in particular, in the process of performing regression testing are presented. The positive aspects of using regression testing automation in conditions of lack of resources using various software platforms are indicated. The advantages of using the dynamic selection method for regression tests for automated testing are also given, as well as recommendations for implementing the selection method in existing and beginning projects.
