Difference between Re-Test and Regression Testing

Posted by VIKAS Sunday, October 28, 2007

Re-Testing - Retesting is the process of testing an application after fixing the bugs.

Regression - Regression testing is the process of reexecuting the application whether it affects the other parts of application


Retesting and Regression Testing are slightly different in the sense....they are to be executed on different test cases...

E.g. If there are 1000 test cases to be executed in the first build....And of the 1000 test cases, 100 fail and 900 pass....
Then after bug fixes and when the 2nd build is received, REGRESSION Testing has to be done on the 900 test cases and the remaining 100 test cases are to be RETESTED.
