Difference between re testing and regression testing, smoke
and sanity testing

Answer Posted / gopinath

Retesting means testing the entire application with
different combination of input data.and testing the
previously not correct working functionality in new build.

Regression testing means testing the application for
previously not correctly working functionality and due to
these functions any dependencies exist in the application.

smoke testing is the basic testing whenever new build
released. it means that testing the application for
different URLS,Links.

Sanity testing is the testing by satisfying this only is
accepted unless it is rejected. In sanity testing we check
functionlities random by having knowledge on the
application. if any show stopper defects are exist we reject
the build.
