Re-Testing is to verify whether the particular test case or set of test cases have been carried out properly. Re-Testing can be done anytime during the SDLC.Regression Testing is done for all test cases to check for new bugs or re-occurance of old bugs. Regression Testing is usually done after every release of the Software by the developers for the testing process.

Re-testing is a process of testing the fix of the bug in the same version or check whether the bug is fixed in the same version.

Regression testing is a process of checking whether the fix of the earlier bug break/effect some area in the application or

process of checking the fixed bugs in the next upgrade version.

Retesting is the repeated execution of the test case which results in a fault,with the aim that fault has been cured,Regression testing is the renewed testing of already tested program or part after modification with the aim that the modification had not created new fault

Re-Testing: testing the same Scenario in which we kept Bug.

Regression Testing: testing other parts of the application whether any thing is effected by fixing the Bug.

The answer is retesting involves the check for the functionality of the previous and the present build is stable or not,
incase of Regression testing is checking for  the newly added functionality causing any errors in terms of functionality and the
common functionality should be stable in the latest and the previous versions

Re-testing is testing one module after as some changes of code done and testing that module only. Mostly developer conduct re-testing.

Regression testing is in which code changes in one module and testing its effect on other module. This is done on developed application and tester/developer or some time support professional does this in field cases. By : Mukesh Chauhan Bangalore

RETESTING- TESTING THE APPLICATION FOR ANY BUG FIXES. YOU FOUND BUGS ASSIGNED TO DEVELOPER TO RESOLVE THE BUS AND AFTER RECIEVING THE RESOLVED BUG FROM DEVELOPER YOU TEST THE FIX BUG AND TEST WHETHER IT IS EFFECTING THE APPLICATION OR NOT.

REGRESSION- IF ANY NEW FUNCTIONALITY IS BEING ADDED TO THE SYSTEM AND TESTING THE SYSTEM WHETHER NEW FUNCTIONALITY IS EFFECTING THE APPLICATION OR NOT.

actually re-testing is testing of an application when it is upgraded to a new version with added featuresregression testing of the application to find out that if change in module of an application has produced errors in the unchanged code

in my words ican say that retesting is  done by giving differnt multiple data  and to check the appilication is going (or) running according to srs documents srs(software requirement specification) as per the clients request.

and where as regression testing is defined as that retesting the modified build (or) project to get actual values (or) results according to the clients specification

Retesting- To  recheck whether the particular functionality is working properly or not after the modification have been made.

Regression - To check whether new Modification have not caused any unintended side effects

 for example -Retesting is to check whether 1+ 1 is giving 2 or not

Regression is to find whether the changes made  for 1+1 is not affecting other related modules at the same time giving result as 2

RETESTING the specifications change becuase the design changes.Normally its is done when the client want to change the design aspets of the application(they can also change the whole code by changing the doamin and tool for testing.So,the test plan ans test cases for various test fails.

REGRESSION TESTing:-When ever a tester identifies a bug he/she mentioned the test case no and line of that particular test paln and also mention status (priority) to the developer.The developer changes the code in such a way that it does not effect the rest of the code.

Here the testplan ans test case specifications does not change because the design and funtionality won;t change.

Re-Testing is to verify whether the particular test case or set of test cases have been assigned by he developer properly and then executing the same test case and verify whether they r fixed or not.Regression Testing is done for all test cases to check for new bugs or re-occurance of old bugs. Regression Testing is usually done after every release of the Software by the developers for the testing process.

U will do all the test procedures once u make any new change or add a new functionality ? Regression

 

U will do testing for only the Changed Scenario  - Retesting

 Retesting is the execution of the same application with multiple test data.

 Regression Testing is to test the build on which some modifications are done and to check whether any occurences of side effects are there.

Regression Testing: Retesting a previously tested program following modification to ensure that faults have not been introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes made.

Retesting: Testing with different input in same functionality of an application.

Retesting is the testing of an application whether it is giving proper outputs or not(i.e.bug free)Regression testing is that after resolving the defect by the developement team,the testing team verifies whether all the defects identified on the initial build are resolved or not.The main objective of regression testing is whether the resolved defect effects the remaining functionality or not.

Whenever there is a bug in the application we will do Re-testing by checking each and every module in the same version.


Whenever there is necessity to add new functionality or some modification in the application we will do Regression Testing in the next version.

Testing same functionality with diffenent sets of data where as regression testing is done for the build that are just released from development department.

Regression testing:testing the same functionality again & again to ensure that the application is bugfree.
there are two types of Regression testing:
1.Bug regression
2.Functional regression

Re-testing:testing the same functionality again & again to check whether the bug is reproducible or not

Retestin is a testing on modyfied build to check whether previously failed test passed this time or not?

Where as regression testing is the testing on modified bulid to check whether previously passed tests are also passed this time?
i.e. to check tht modifications effect other functionalities tht r previously tested
i think it gives bit slarity

Testing the effected part of an application again to validate that the effected part didnot effect the other part of an application which is working fine is called retesting.
Re-execution of some sub set of testcases which are already fixed to ensure that the fixed defects are not affecting any adverse part of an application which are working fine.

Re and Regression testings are conducted on the modified bulid after bug fixing.

But testing the modified build to check whether the previously failed test case passed this time or not is retesting.

Regression testing is to check whether the previously passed test cases are passed this time on modified build or they r effected by the changes.

Consider the two scenario:

1. You are giving fix to bug. you are testing that the application is free from that bug is called re-testing.

2. You are giving fix to bug. you are testing that the fix will impact on the existing application functionality, this is regression.

Regression Testing is to test the an entire application  / Functionality to ensure that the fixing of bug(s) does not affect anywhere else in the application / functionality.

Retesting is, executing the same test case after fixing bug to ensure the bug fixing OR Retesting the fixed defect(s) / bug(s) to ensure that related functionality is working fine. In this case, we do not test entire application / functionality.
