Startup Project #3: Regression Testing for Acto

[tylergu]

Description

This project seeks to reduce the cost of Acto. It is very expensive to run Acto on a single version of a project. So, we are interested in exploring how to reduce the costs of applying Acto as the operator code evolves by only testing parts of that operator code that are affected by changes.

The regression testing from the mentioned paper won't work for Acto, because Acto runs e2e tests, thus all the modules in the operator repo are dependent.
