Software Testing Tutorial #25 - Retesting Vs Regression Testing

**Notes: Retesting Vs. Regression Testing - Software Testing Tutorial #25**
**Understanding Retesting and Regression Testing:**
- Regression Testing has been explained in previous tutorials.
- Retesting verifies if defects reported earlier have been fixed, focusing on failed test cases.
- Both concepts are essential for interviews and practical testing projects.
**Retesting Defined:**
- Example: Consider an e-commerce website with user registration features.
- During testing, two out of ten test cases for Facebook registration fail.
- Retesting involves executing only the failed Facebook registration test cases to verify defect fixes.
**The Role of Retesting:**
- Retesting confirms that specific defects reported earlier have been resolved.
- In the example, you'd retest the two initially failed Facebook registration test cases.
**Regression Testing: A Deeper Dive:**
- Regression Testing verifies changes or fixes in one part of the application don't adversely affect other unrelated parts.
- In the example, it ensures that fixing the Facebook registration defects doesn't break the working functionalities of Google, Twitter, or email registration.
**The Purpose of Regression Testing:**
- Regression Testing covers related modules and test cases affected by changes or defect fixes.
- In the example, you might execute a selection of critical test cases for Facebook, Google, Twitter, and email registration, totaling 13 test cases.
**Recap:**
- **Retesting**: Focuses on re-executing failed test cases after defect fixes.
- **Regression Testing**: Includes retesting failed cases and analyzing and executing critical test cases in related modules to ensure that changes haven't adversely impacted the application.
