Tools for regression testing

Question

Every time a new version of software is released, we need to do a full run of all the existing test cases. It's very time consuming. Is it possible to find out the modified parts of the code base and only execute test cases related to those parts. And only conduct regression tests which is affected by those modified parts.

I want to write a tool to for that. And I want it to be as automatic as possible.

It should be not too difficult to do. And only .NET managed code is considered for now. Or is there any exsiting tools for that?

I suggest you to read this blog post series. You can do Test Impact Analysis with MTM and Test Case but it requires some knowledge to setup and rigor to be able to use it in the real world.
