Retesting Category

Retesting Retesting is the process of verifying that previously identified defects have been successfully fixed by the development team. It involves executing the same test cases that initially failed, using the same data and steps, to ensure that the issue no longer exists. The primary objective of retesting is to confirm that the defect has been resolved as expected without introducing any new issues. It is a focused activity that targets only the specific defects that were reported earlier, rather than testing the entire application. Retesting is typically performed after receiving a new build or patch where the fixes have been implemented. Each defect is re-evaluated and marked accordingly as Pass (fixed) or Fail (not fixed or partially fixed). Key Points: Performed only for failed test cases or reported defects Ensures that the fix is working as intended Uses the same environment, steps, and test data as before Helps maintain product quality and stability Works closely with defect tracking and validation process Outcome: Confirms defect resolution Updates defect status in the tracking system Provides confidence in the stability of the fix
