What is Retesting?

Answer Posted / chandru

When a Tester finds a bug in the software, the coder fixes
the bug by making the changes in code.
Now the tester will check the same sceanrio again to see
whether the bug still exists or it is working fine.here he
will be exceuting only those failed test cases for that
particular Module which were responsible for that bug. This
is called Re- Testing.

But the changes done in the code will have impact elsewhere
also i.e in the other areas and Modules. So we have to
execute all the test cases to see that the changes done in
the code has not affected the other areas also. This is
called regression testing.
