An improved method and system is provided for performing regression tests on modifications made to user help documentation software. In the method, expected results based on the anticipated effects of proposed modifications are compared with the actual results detected after the modifications have been made. In one embodiment, a set of expected results is prepared, wherein the set comprises results expected when specified changes are implemented in a prior version of the specified software. Each of the specified changes is then implemented, to produce a modified version of the specified software. The modified version is monitored, to determine actual results caused by the specified changes, and the expected results are compared with the actual results, to detect variances therebetween. Usefully, an automated software tool is configured to rapidly extract specified user help elements from the modified user documentation software.
