difference between regression testing and re testing?..

Answer / amit b

Regression Testing: Testing of a previously tested program
following modification to ensure that defects have not been
introduced or uncovered in unchanged areas of the software,
as a result of the changes made. It is performed when the
software or its environment is
changed.

re-testing: Testing that runs test cases that failed the
last time they were run, in order to verify the success of
corrective actions.

Answer / siva nadh reddy.g (shivanadh66

Retesting : it means testing the same functionality again
and again but with multiple sets of data in order check
whether it is working properly or not.

Regression : performing the testing on already testing
functionality again and again.usually it is done in 2 scenarios

1)whenever the defects are identified and send them to the
development department,net build is released,then the test
engineers once again check the defect functionality as well
as the related functionalities once again.

2)whenever some new features are added to the application
and the next build is released,test engineers will check the
already tested and related features of those new features
once again.
