Hi,

 Retesting: After fixing the bug by developers, developers will send it for retesting, to verify that bug is working fine (Means, its working what it supposed to do). In Retesting we are executing only the test cases which is related to that particular function. We are not testing the application with different set of data. If that fixed function is working fine with out showing error, then we will go for regression testing.

        In Regression testing, we will verify whether, that fixed bug is impacts on the other related/dependent modules. (In Regression testing, we will execute all the test cases for that modules and other related/dependent modules).

Thanks & Regards

Hi What is the diffrence between Regression testin...
Retesting: Executing all the test cases written fro the application.Regression testing:Where as regression test is verufy that the fixed bugs will causes any impact on the rest of the application.i.e, if you file a bug and the dev fixes that bug then you need to test whether the bug is really got fixed and is the fix will impact or causes to any other bugs

ReTesting :- To Test an Application With Mulitiple Test data.

Regression Testing:-When test Engineer  Found any defects in application bulid,Test Engineers report that defect to Development Team. when the development team resolved that defect and send to modified bulid to testing team. Then testing team conduct Regresstion test wether ther modified bulied is correctly working or not.

Retesting:Retesting is a prosess varifying the applicaton on different input values and each input value is independent of each other.

RegressionTesting: It is a process to determine that any change in a application effect the other aspect of the application or not.

RE: Hi What is the diffrence between Regression testin...
Re testing: after receiving modified build from developers  Testers perform this testing ,this testing is performed on areas of the application developer modified or fixed  and we didnt consider the side affects  due to that.but in Regression testing we test the areas of the application he modified and side effects due to that modification

Hi Regression testing :where you conduct your test for entire your application with past functinonality and current enchancements with the current build .Retesting :where you will be your conductiing your tests for more than 1 time with your test case is called retesting

Retesting : Testing a previously non-working module after any coding  change.

Regression Testing: Testing any previously working module after any coding change, to check it's functionalty and impact.

 Hi This is sankar.

retesting means re-executions of tests on same application bulid with mutiple input values .

regression testing means re-exections of tests on modified build is called ad regrssion testing .

RE: Hi What is the diffrence between Regression testin...

Re-Testing: Is the Process where Test engineers (Testers) are conformed that application is working fine (there are no bugs or there is no more regression Testing).Then Testers are going to test the entire application with different input values to get accurate expected values (Result).

 

 

Regression Testing: Is the process when Tester found a bug and the testing process is stopped or it is abstracting testing...then developers are going to Fix that Bug andThis time tester are going to Testing the whole application from just previous step where the bug is found and resloved.And also going to check for the affects of that modification done on application.
