 This is most useful when you are working on a young/new language pair, where you are working with rules or dictionaries and want to change a rule or word and get an overview of the consequences, and check that your changes haven't broken anything.
-Most mature pairs abandon these tests (see discussion [https://plus.google.com/u/0/114804369744409916883/posts/JvozgQxVAyT here]) and use [[testvoc]] and [[corpus test]] to test improvements in the translator, although regression tests described here have an advantage of being deterministic - they either pass or fail - whereas it's hard to achieve such determinism in case of a corpus test (especially if the corpus is large).

 The regressions tests work by downloading a wiki page with the phrases and the expected output like the page [[English_and_Esperanto/Regression_tests]] and then running the translator.
