What is the diff betwn Functional nad regression testing and do u excute same test case or write ne..

Answer / abhesheke

in functional test you(black box tester) check the major
functionalities in his modules are working are not

in regression test u check the functionality on the modified
built
if there is problem in the some module u reported the bug to
the developer and after he fixing that issue u do regression
testing on the modified built

executing the same testcases depending on the modification
done in modules most of the time u go for new test case but
while doing regression testing you check that the
modification done is not effecting any functionlity which
was working fine previously

Answer / murthy

In Functional Testing, We will execute all the
functionalities of our application as per our requirements.

Regression Testing - Retesting the application to assure
that the defects found in Functional testing has not create
any new bugs and the application is working fine. In most
of the projects the testers will reexecute all the
functional test cases.

Dont need to write separate test cases for Functional and
Regression testing. We can reuse the same test cases for
both functional and regression.

Answer / @mit

Functional Testing:-
In Functional Testing,tester test the functionality of the
application by refering FRS or BRS.

Regression Testing:-
Regression Testing is used to find the un impcated areas
of the applictaion due to bug fixed,changing code on
modified build.


For regression testing,v prepare new test cases or not that
all depends on company to company.
Suppose,if code has been changed or bug has been fixed
then Tester just execute the functional Test cases rather
than create new test cases but if Requirement is cahnged an
ddevelopr had implement the same then Testet need to create
the new cases.

What is the diff betwn Functional nad regression testing and do u excute same test case or write ne..

Answer / saff

as per my knowledge the test cases are written in the
beginning and they r executed once the built is done

so difference between fun and reg is

funtionality testing where we give some input and check
for output =expected one

regression is when we r checking the features of appln if
u find bug ,appln/module/system it is given for
rectification and rectified appln is givne back for
testing at this time ,after competing the testing of the
feature which is fixed, we have to check for the whole
aplln for verifying that whick are already working are
still working or not
so for this we have already wrote test cases which are also
funtional testing test cases only

so untill and unless there is any change in the requirement
we dont have to change our test cases

but if the regression testing is not overall coverage of
appln then we need to write different test cases ,

Answer / priya

Functional testing means checking functionality of the s/w
as per requirement.

Regression testing is relearning of test to check the new
build has created any bug in uncheck component.

e.g.Suppose you test function upto 10th line & 11th has a
error then after solved that 11th line error,you need to
start testing from 1st line to check it dos'nt affect 1-10 line.

Answer / shiva

Functional Testing --- When there are enhancement in the
build release,the execution of test cases is functional testing.
Regression Testing --- When there are no enhancements only
the Defect fixes in the build then executing test cases are
Regression testing.
