Difference between Regression testing and Retesting ?

Difference between Regression testing and Retesting ?


Regression testing-:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is also type of testing

- In this type of testing, we just retest any code or program after adding some new feature or line code to it.

- This testing helps us to make sure the new addition to the already working code is not making any problem in the functionality of the code

Need of Regression testing-:
-------‐--‐-------------------------------------------------------
a. Changes in requirement on some demand
b. New feature added to the software
c. After defect fixing
d. After performamce issue fixing

Note: If you performed all these fixing by adding something new then you will perform Regression testing.

Difference between Regression testing and Retesting-:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- There are minor difference between these two but sometime people use them for representing same things

- Regression testing is when you test after adding some new code.

- Retesting is when you don't add some new code, fix the issue without addition and check if error is still there.

In this post, you will learn-:

- What is Regression testing
- what is retesting
- when you should use regression testing
- when you should use retesting
- what is difference between regression         testing and retesting
- practical demonstration of regression testing and retesting.

How to analyze a JMeter summary report?

  A  Jmeter  Test Plan must have listener to showcase the result of performance test execution. Listeners capture the response coming back from Server while Jmeter runs and showcase in the form of – tree, tables, graphs and log files. It also allows you to save the result in a file for future reference. There are many types of listeners Jmeter provides. Some of them are: Summary Report, Aggregate Report, Aggregate Graph, View Results Tree, View Results in Table etc. Here is the detailed understanding of each parameter in Summary report. By referring to the figure: Label : It is the name/URL for the specific HTTP(s) Request. If you have selected “Include group name in label?” option then the name of the Thread Group is applied as the prefix to each label. Samples : This indicates the number of virtual users per request. Average : It is the average time taken by all the samples to execute specific label. In our case, the average time for Label 1 is 942 milliseconds & to...

What is usability testing ?

What is Error, Bug and Defec ?

What is Error, Bug and Defect in software testing ? Error :- When developer compile a program and program compilation is failed due to some syntax problem or not used correct logic, is called an Error.  For example:-  public class  { public static void main( string []args) { s.o.p(" hello") } } Now after running this program, we will get an error because there is syntax issues as we haven't use correct syntax to print output. Bug : Bug is something that is not producing expected output or something is not behaving as expected.  For example- Developer develop a program to add two number and that program is running fine but producing wrong result. public class  { public static void main( string []args) { int a=3; int b=2; int s= ++a+b; System.out.println(" hello"); } } Actual output: 6 Expected outpit: 5 So here system is not producing expected output after adding two number. In simple term, whe...
