+# Regression Testing Guide
+
+This document explains the regression testing strategy for the TaskBounty project to prevent previously fixed bugs from reappearing in future releases.
+
+## Overview
+
+Regression tests are a critical safety net that ensures fixes for resolved issues remain functional as the codebase evolves. When a bug is fixed, we add tests that verify the fix stays in place, preventing regressions.
+
+## Structure
+
+Regression tests are located in:
+- **Primary suite**: `frontend/src/test/regression.test.ts` - Centralized regression test file
+- **Dedicated suites**: Individual test files for complex regressions (e.g., `security-headers.test.ts` for issue #82)
+
+## Currently Tracked Issues
+
+### Issue #82: Security Headers Implementation
+- **Bug**: Security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.) were not properly configured
+- **Fix**: Implemented comprehensive security headers in `next.config.ts`
+- **Test location**: `frontend/src/lib/security-headers.test.ts`
+- **Regression check**: `frontend/src/test/regression.test.ts` (verifies module exists)
+
+### Issue #83: Form Accessibility Improvements
+- **Bug**: Forms lacked proper accessibility attributes (label associations, aria-required, etc.)
+- **Fix**: Added comprehensive accessibility attributes to all forms
+- **Test locations**: 
+  - `frontend/src/components/TaskFilter.test.tsx`
+  - `frontend/src/app/(marketing)/landing/components/WaitlistHeroSection.test.tsx`
+- **Regression check**: `frontend/src/test/regression.test.ts` (verifies accessibility tests exist)
+
+### Issue #84: Lint Check Enforcement in CI
+- **Bug**: Lint failures were not blocking CI, allowing code with linting errors to merge
+- **Fix**: Updated `.github/workflows/frontend-ci.yml` to enforce lint checks
+- **Test location**: `.github/workflows/frontend-ci.yml`
+- **Regression check**: `frontend/src/test/regression.test.ts` (verifies lint script exists)
+
+## Adding New Regression Tests
+
+When you fix a bug, follow these steps to add regression coverage:
+
+### 1. Document the Issue
+In the regression test file, add a new `describe` block with:
+```typescript
+describe("Regression: Issue #XXX - [Issue Title]", () => {
+  // Bug description
+  // Fix description
+  // Related files/PRs
+});
+```
+
+### 2. Write Regression Tests
+Add tests that verify the fix remains in place:
+```typescript
+it("should prevent [specific bug from reoccurring]", () => {
+  // Test implementation
+});
+
+it("should maintain [specific fix behavior]", () => {
+  // Test implementation
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Consider Dedicated Test Files
+For complex fixes, create a dedicated test file instead of adding to the main regression suite:
+- If the fix involves multiple components or complex logic
+- If the test suite would be large (>50 lines)
+- If the fix is security-critical or high-risk
+
+### 4. Update CI Configuration
+If the regression test is in a separate file, ensure it's covered by the existing test command. The main regression suite is explicitly run in CI via:
+```yaml
+- name: Run regression tests
+  run: pnpm test -- src/test/regression.test.ts
+```
+
+### 5. Update Documentation
+- Add the issue to the "Currently Tracked Issues" section in this file
+- Reference any related documentation files
+- Note the test locations
+
+## Running Regression Tests
+
+### Run all regression tests:
+```bash
+cd frontend
+pnpm test -- src/test/regression.test.ts
+```
+
+### Run specific regression suite:
+```bash
+cd frontend
+pnpm test -- src/test/regression.test.ts -t "Issue #82"
+```
+
+### Run all tests (includes regression):
+```bash
+cd frontend
+pnpm test
+```
+
+## CI Integration
+
+Regression tests are automatically run in CI via `.github/workflows/frontend-ci.yml`:
+1. **Unit and E2E tests**: Runs all tests including regression tests
+2. **Regression tests**: Explicitly runs the main regression suite for visibility
+
+Both steps must pass for a PR to merge (assuming branch protection is configured).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### DO:
+- Add regression tests for every bug fix
+- Reference the specific issue number in test descriptions
+- Document what the bug was and how it was fixed
+- Keep regression tests focused on preventing the specific bug
+- Update this documentation when adding new regression tests
+
+### DON'T:
+- Add regression tests for features that haven't had bugs
+- Remove regression tests without a compelling reason
+- Make regression tests overly complex
+- Forget to update CI if adding new regression test files
+
+## Maintenance
+
+### When to Remove Regression Tests
+Regression tests should generally remain indefinitely. However, consider removal if:
+- The feature being tested is completely removed
+- The test is obsolete due to a major architectural change
+- The test is duplicating newer, more comprehensive tests
+
+### When to Update Regression Tests
+Update regression tests when:
+- The fix implementation changes but the behavior should remain the same
+- The test is flaky or unreliable
+- Better testing patterns emerge that improve the regression check
+

+## Questions?

+If you have questions about regression testing or need guidance on adding regression tests for a specific issue, refer to the existing test suites in `frontend/src/test/regression.test.ts` as examples.
