Hi everyone,

I’ve been trying to understand retesting in software testing and how it is used in real projects. From what I’ve learned, retesting is done to verify that a specific bug has been fixed after it was reported earlier. It usually involves running the same test cases that failed before.

I also noticed that retesting is often confused with regression testing. But it seems like retesting focuses only on fixing a particular issue, while regression testing checks whether new changes have affected other parts of the system.

In modern workflows, teams often combine both approaches to ensure bug fixes don’t break existing functionality. Tools like Keploy help automate this process by generating test cases from real API interactions, making testing faster and more reliable.

I found this guide helpful for understanding retesting concepts and best practices:

How do you approach retesting in your projects? Do you handle it separately or combine it with regression testing?
