Answer / tejas trivedi

Re-Testing means developer has solved any issue and testing
of same issue again is Re-Testing.

Regression testing means testing the impact of solved issues
on other intergrated modules also. We will sure that solved
issues does not impact or does not create bug in other
module also.

Sanity testing is initial testing effort. It is to be sure
that out application or product is acceptable for further
major testing.

Smoke testing means to test the main and major functionality
of the system. We can perform this testing when we have not
sufficient time to finish testing.We will chck major part of
the functionality also. Say ex.. Payment , Billing module,
Registration

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

Answer / sravan

In re testing we will test the application once again by
giving different input data.
In regression testing we will test the new build and we will
also test the dependent functionality.
Smoke testing is done before the deployment of application
into test environment here they will test the basic
functionality of the application.
Sanity test is the first test conducted by the tester to
validate the basic functions are working as per the
requirement or not. If sanity testing fails we cannot
cotinue testing.

Answer / nrg.sreevani

testing a functionality again and again is retesting.
re_executing the selective test cases for a dependent
functionality on the modified bulid is called regression
testing.
re_testing will be conducted to conform bugs r properly
fixed r not.where as regression testing will be conducted
to identitfy side effects with may occurs becuase of the
bug fixers.
re_testins starts fron first bulid where as regression
testing starts from modified bulid
smoke:it is a kind of quick test or rough test conducted on
the application to determine does the application is
elligible for detail testing r not
snaity testing:a quick test conducted on the application at
production environment to determine does the application is
eligible for acceptance testing r not

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

Answer / 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.
