Problem:– Understanding the difference between Regression and RE-Testing
Example:-
Suppose you were testing some software application and you found defects in some
component.
1. You log a defect in bug tracking tool.
2. Developer will fix that defect and provide you with the new build with bug fix.
3. You need to re-run the failed test cases to make sure that the previous logged issue is
not replicating
4.You are also testing some of the passed test-cases,so that bug fix in the new build is not affecting the neighboring components.
In the above example, STEP-3 refers to Re-Testing and STEP-4 Refers to Regression
Testing
Following are the key differences between Regression testing and Re-testing:-

Following are the key differences between Regression testing and Re-testing:-
|
Regression Testing
|
Re-Testing
|
Is carried to check that bug fix hasn’t impacted other functionality of application |
Is carried to verify Bug fixes |
Execution of Passed test cases |
Execution of failed test cases |
Has lower priority than re-testing |
Higher priority |
