Difference between Retesting and Regression testing?


RetestingRegression
Retest is carried out when a particular
defect is fixed and tester
has to run through the test
cases related only to the defect fixed
Regression testing is carried out to check if the
defect which is fixed in the module has
affected any other module or not.
Here tester has to run through the
whole module i.e. the test cases
which are already passed too and not
a particular test case.
Retest is carried out to check if the
prior defect which is logged has been rectified.
Regression testing in laymen term
is to check if there are any side effect
to the defect fixed.
Retest is a planned testingRegression testing is generic testing
