Dll used by several applications problem   

I have a dll which is used by several application.

The Problem => When there is a new build for the Dll  ...all the other 
dependent application has a new build. So , all the apps has to go through 
the QA testiong steps.

Result => A lot of wastage of time and resources.

What should be the approach here ????

Either you need to have a way to automate your regression testing or 
release the dll in iterative versions so that you can gracefully upgrade 
the dependent applications as needed or as time permits.
