    Thumbs up Re: diff between retesting&regression testing

    Regression testing involves re-running the previously run tests to find out if the already tested faults have re-occurred or new faults have been introduced. Re-testing may not involve running previously run tests or it could involve new testing methods

    Re: diff between retesting&regression testing

    Regression testing is the testing which is done on every build change. We retest already tested functionality for any new bug introduced due to change.

    Retesting is the testing of same functionality, this may be due to any bug fix, or due to any change in implementation technology

    Re: diff between retesting&regression testing

    Simple answer for this question:
    Your Dev team gives you a build to test and you immediately identify a BUG! What do you do?
    You report it to the Dev team through bug reporting tool and go out to your swanky cafeteria for a cuppa of coffee.
    Hoping that what you identified is really a bug and the developer is also not in the cafeteria, when you return back to your seat to chat in orkut you get this mail, from Dev that the bug is fixed and is deployed, and is Ready to be tested, what do you do???

    You RETEST your reported Bug!!!

    Once you get bored with all this testing and is cursing because your appraisal was a big flop show you decide to give QA sign-off and send a mail to your manager for approval, what does he ask?????

    "Did you test the surrounding area?"
    What do you do?
    You run back to your cubicle cursing and do aREGRESSION test of the application.

    P.S.-> QA has become less of testing and more of a book of terminology

    Re: diff between retesting&regression testing

    Retest Testing:
    Testing all the test cases again which are failed in the previous test cycle is called retest testing

    Regression testing
    Testing whole or subset of the previously passed test cases to make sure that changes(bug fixes, enhancement)made to the software has not broken any existing functionality
