Apple's for sale - Wrong

A small punctuation can make a lot of difference (Really).

I have spent most of the day putting in a comma and the rest of the day taking it out.
- Oscar Wilde

Why am posting of about Punctuation, how it is related to testing a software.
Cool guys’ lemme give you the brief ideas of some terminologies in testing.

What is Regression Testing and Retesting?
Let us think that we do have some problem with date in one application. For example, if we enter the date as 12/01/09(DD/MM/YY), but the application is treating it is MM/DD/YY, then

what about 25/12/09?
How the system responds?

Testing the application once after a developer fix the issue in the application where we have raised the bug is Re Testing.
Testing all the applications Parallely to check whether the fixed bug, have created new errors or unexpected behaviour is Regression Testing.

Correct me if am wrong. :-)


Back to punctuation.
An unintentional slip of a key that replaces a full stop with a comma might not be detected for weeks but could have serious effects.

Why Regression tools are used to automate software? Let us discuss it in the further posts.

Happy Testing
