Regression tests for the Wikipedia iOS app (pictured below)

What are regression tests?

edit

A feature which formerly worked but has since broken it is said to have "regressed".

Regression tests outline simple steps you can take to confirm a software feature is working correctly.

Before each release of the iOS Wikipedia app we (and volunteers) run a variety of manual regression tests to ensure new and old features are working properly.

You can help us find bugs by repeating testing steps on these regression test pages.
