what is Retesting and what is the difference between Retesting and Regression testing?..

Answer / meduri srk prasad

General approach:
When we are testing the application, we may come across a
situation that the expected result is different from the
actual result. Then we will log a bug and describe " how to
reproduce ".

Re-Testing:
In the next build we will try to re-produce the bug with
the same said scenario or bug description. If it still
reproducible or not? If yes, we have to fail the bug or
else it is re-test OK.

Regression-Testing:
Actually our intention is to retest the above bug, but also
our focus should be to verify that there no side effect
because of that fix / there is no descrepancy in the
functionality or UI or some other technical issue(s).

Retesting is very easy task because we know what to text.
We will go according to the mentioned bug description.
Whereas regression test requires overall knowledge and
exposure to the area of defect in and arround the defect
region and reason etc.
