What is the difference between Retesting and Data Driven Testing?..

Answer / rajendra

Retesting:it is manual process in which apllication will be
tested with entire new set of data.

DataDriven Testing(DDT)-It is a Automated testing process in
which application is tested with multiple test data.
DDT is very easy procedure than retesting because the
tester should sit and need to give different new inputs
manually from front end and it is very tedious and boring
prodedure.

Hi,

Retesting means we are going to check whether the bug is

Retesting means: Execute the same testcases on the same
build with different inputs.

Regression testing : Executing the same testcases on teh

What is the difference between Retesting and Data Driven Testing?..

Answer / pavan

Retesting:
After particular bug is fixed to test a particular
component. To verify the bug is fixed or not.
Retesting is done for both purposes.
1. Making sure that the application is free of bugs after
bug fixing.
2. To find out defects in earlier stage.
So retesting is applicable before regression testing and
after regression testing and hence both testings are in
cyclic process

hi
suplementary to the rajendras answer
indeed retesting is test the application with different
inputs values.but the main aim of the retesting is to check

What is the difference between Retesting and Data Driven Testing?..

Answer / rajendra

hai satya,
absolutely your answer is wrong.
Retesting means not checking whether the bug is
fixed or not.

Retesting means checking the behaviour of system for
different sets of inputs.

One thing is important that system may behave differently
for different i/p's.

Retesting is an manual procedure to check the system with
different i/p's

if you come for DataDriven Testing also called DDT in a
short form is automation method for testing appilcation for
different i/p's using winRunner or QTP tool.

Finally, In a nutshell retesting is manual process of
testing application with different i/p's.

Data driven testing means testing the application with
different types of inputs using a automated tool.
In DDT we supply inputs from flat files(note pad),
database,excel sheel..etc

if any body have doubt please mail me or you can call me

Byee friendz
