Difference between regression testing and retesting

By Testbytes Team · Published April 15th, 2020

Regression testing	Re testing
Done whenever there is a change in code	A confirmation technique used once the defect is fixed
To  assure that new changes hasn’t caused new issues	To find out whether the issue has been rectified and functionality is restored
Can be done parallel with retesting	Should be performed before regression testing
Passed test cases are used	Failed test cases are put to use
Defect verification is not apart	Defect verification is a part
Can be used to check unexpected results	Confirms that the original fault has been corrected
Automation is the key	Can’t be automated
