Retesting Can Done only When "Build is Fixed"


sun_ramprasad@yahoo.com

Retesting is done whenever the build is released to the
testing department. The test engineer will test the
functionality again and again with multiple set of data.

After bug fix work only retesting is going to be done, 
there is other case
         rathnam_kristam@yahoo.co.in

if the tester find out the bug it wil give to corresponding 
developer,the developer modify the source code and fix the 
bug.then it wil given to same tester.the tester once again 
chek the same module,this process is repeated till yhe 
sourse code is defect free.this is retesting

when a Test Engineer finds a defect and it is fixed as a 
defect by the defect tracking team then, the build would be 
sent to the developer and after fixing the bug without 
disturbing the functionality the latest version of build is 
released to the test engineer.

then the test engineer will check the defected area only 
since no functionality is disturbed.  This is called 
Retesting.

If the functionality is cahnged while fixing the bug then 
we have to go for Regrussion Testing.

In re-testing one will perform testing on same functionality again and again with multiple sets of values.
Re-testing will do not only after bug fixation.It starts from first build and continue up to last build.
