Explanation

Regression testing is specifically designed to verify that newly introduced changes, features, or bug fixes have not broken or degraded existing functionality. When preexisting capabilities fail after a new deployment, regression testing would catch those breakages before release. Performance testing measures speed and scalability. Stress testing evaluates system behavior under extreme load. User acceptance testing (UAT) verifies that the system meets business requirements from an end-user perspective - none of these specifically guard existing functionality against new-change side effects.
