Hi,

I'm curious about running regression tests. Why running regression tests is
important
for a ppl not an end-user? If I'm an end-user, running regression tests and get
failed tests,
may I fix'em? If yes, would you like to tell me how to fix? Otherwise, what do
they mean?
Thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Doug.
