Regressor - Auto Instance Creator

About this plugin

Concept

Regression refers to re-testing an application or system to ensure that new changes or updates do not have any side effects or breaking changes.

Regressor brings regression's ideology from code to design. Regressor is grounded in the principle of regression, which helps you to quickly create all possible test cases for different variant and boolean property combinations before publishing a design component update.
