Hi Irma In computer science parlance, a regression bug is one that has broken previously functional behaviour. It has actually regressed "regressed" past participle, past tense of re·gress (Verb) 1. Return to a former or less developed state. In that sense. When you get a code base the size of Koha, you often to see these type of bugs, where someone has fixed, or added something new and in the process broken something that previously worked. Whenever this happens, we should do two things, 1/ revert the change that broke it, fix that and then re apply it 2/ write a unit test so that we can test programmatically that the previous broken thing is now working (and can test it is still working from now and into the future.
