Catch regressions before users do — across every release
Track what breaks between builds and environments, scoped to the specific release that introduced it — so nothing reaches production unverified.
The problem
Regressions slip through because nobody knows which build broke them
QA finds a bug on staging. Engineering can’t tell which build it appeared on. The fix lands in the next release — except it doesn’t fix it. Without scoping every regression to a release and environment, the team is debugging blind.
Why Bugzy
Most bug trackers treat regressions like generic tickets. Bugzy ties every regression to the release that introduced it and the environment it broke in — so triage answers “which build, which environment” on the first look.

The workflow
- 1
Step 1 · Plan
Plan regression scope around the release-candidate diff
Your team’s job
Teams re-test the entire app every release because nobody knows what the diff actually touches.
How Bugzy answers it
Bugzy scopes regression to the release candidate — the changed surface area is visible alongside the gates the regression suite has to pass before sign-off.
- 2
Step 2 · Environment
Run regression in a staging environment that mirrors prod
Your team’s job
Tests pass in dev, fail in staging, then pass again in prod — because the environments differ in subtle, undocumented ways.
How Bugzy answers it
Every regression result is tagged with its environment metadata — browser, OS, build, third-party config — so passing in dev never gets confused with passing in prod.

Step 3 · Capture
Capture every failure with full reproduction context
Your team’s job
A regression report without reproduction is a ticket engineering will close without investigating.
How Bugzy answers it
Every failure ships with a 30-second session replay, synced console logs, network traffic, build identifier and environment — engineering reproduces from the artifact, not from a Slack thread.

Step 4 · Scope
Auto-scope each regression to the release that introduced it
Your team’s job
"Which build did this regress on?" gets answered with a guess, and the fix lands in the wrong release.
How Bugzy answers it
Bugzy auto-links every captured regression to the release version and environment it appeared in — so engineering knows exactly which build introduced it and which build needs the fix.

Step 5 · Compare
Compare open regressions release-over-release
Your team’s job
Without trend data, every release feels equally risky — no signal on whether quality is actually improving.
How Bugzy answers it
Bugzy shows regression volume and severity release-over-release in one view — spot when a build regresses against the last, and surface chronic problem areas across cycles.
- 6
Step 6 · Block
Block sign-off until P0 and P1 regressions resolve
Your team’s job
Teams ship anyway with open regressions because the gate is a sticky note in someone's mind, not a system that holds.
How Bugzy answers it
Release sign-off is gated on the open-regression count by severity — Bugzy won't let the release transition to approved while P0/P1 regressions are unresolved.

What is regression testing?
Regression testing is the practice of re-running tests against existing functionality after a code change to confirm nothing that previously worked has broken. It catches the unintended side effects of new code — the bugs introduced by the cure, not the disease.
How does environment scoping help regression testing?
Environments differ — different data shapes, different third-party configs, different feature flag states. A regression that passes in dev can fail in staging or prod. Scoping every regression result to its environment turns "works on my machine" into actionable diagnostic data.
How does Bugzy link a regression to a specific release?
Every bug captured by Bugzy is auto-tagged with the release version and environment it appeared in, sourced from your release definition in the workspace. Regression triage filters by release, severity and environment — engineering knows exactly which build introduced what.
Can Bugzy compare regressions across builds?
Yes. The release-scoped dashboard shows regression volume and severity per release, side-by-side with prior releases. Spot when v2.4 regressed against v2.3, identify chronic problem areas across cycles, and report the quality trend with data instead of feel.
How does Bugzy block a release with open regressions?
Sign-off is gated on the open-regression count by severity. Configure your gates (typically zero open P0/P1, P2s acceptable with deferred owner) and Bugzy will block the release ticket from transitioning to approved until the gates are met.
Does Bugzy support automated regression testing tools?
Bugzy is the issue-tracking and release-sign-off layer above your test execution. Test results from automated regression suites (Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Jest) feed into Bugzy via API or CI integration — Bugzy treats the failures as bugs scoped to the release.
