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 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-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.

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

If you are a non-IT student then you can say that Testers doesn't need much programming stuff whereas a developer needs it. If you are a IT student then you must say I want to be software professional so it doesn't mean that I must be developer only I can also be a Tester, Analyst, Designer or any kind of that. So I must be proud enough to be a Tester too. (Add your ideas also)

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:
To test Program on the modified build it self.

hi

retesting simply defines to check every possible test cases of a particular software but regression testing means to check every possible test build of a perticular software.

thanks

In my view the changes in same build ,(i.e coding or s/w are not changed) is called retesting. The changes in modified build is released at the time of testing known as regression testing

retesting means testing on the build with multiple sets of data.
regression testing means test for whether the fixed bug changing the previously passed functionality/not

Retesting: To recheck whether the particular functionality is working properly or not, after the modification has been made.
Regression: It is perform to check whether new modification have not caused any unintended side effects after fixes the software or it's environment. It can be difficult to determine how much regression is needed,especially near the end of the development cycle. We perform regression testing most of the times because there are number of builds released, and in every build we fix bugs and monitor those bugs are not effecting to other modules of application. Automated testing tools are very useful for regression testing.

Retesting:  testing the Bug whether it is fixed or not


Regression testing: it is testing the whole module whether the bug fixed might disturbed the whole module

REGRESSION TESTING  :

If we get any code / Functaionilty change in the project , then we need to test it whether this change will effect the Exixting fuctonality or code.

RE -TESTING :

Some times what happens at the time of Release or we have less time frame to test any Fucntionality, then in this situation we test only the main feature / Execute all the test cases that we have written. But those are not suffieciant.
 
So we do RETESTING of the same Fuctionality or execute the same test cases to compleate the same test.

Re-testing occurs after a defect has been fixed and returned to the test team for verification.  Unless the fix is not confirmed, re-tests are conducted only once.  If the fix is confirmed, its corresponding defect report is closed.

Regression testing occurs on every iteration of the build to ensure that target functionalities are working properly.  These tests are executed either 1) at a high level across all major components, 2) at a high level on mission-critical components,  or 3) on areas that are considered vulnerable due to issues that had been found in previous builds.
