Retesting In Flutter
Hi everyone! today we explore Retesting In Flutter. Retesting is used when there is any specific error or bug which needs to be verified. It is used when the bug is rejected by the developers then the testing department tests whether that bug is actual or not. It is also used to check the whole system to verify the final functionality.

Use of Re-testing in Software Testing
What is Retesting?
Retesting is a procedure where we need to check that particular test cases which are found with some bugs during the execution time. Retesting also occurs when the product is already tested and due to some problems it needs to be tested again. This test is named retesting.
Retesting depends on the developer department whether they are going to accept the bug testing or reject it. Retesting is done when there is a specific bug when the bug is rejected by the developer and the tester department needs to test the issues when the user reports a problem for retesting and fixing an issue for better application and better workflow.
Characteristics of Retesting:
- It is a copy of testing which are done with the same files and processes in a new build.
- Retesting can only be implemented when particular test cases are involved which are considered failed tests.
- It takes the surety of successful tests and working flow as it has to be.
- During execution time whenever any bug occurs and that test is declined by the developer, in that situation the testers department tests that file and they try to find the actual issue they also do the retesting of that bug to make sure whether that bug is actual or not.
- Sometimes the whole program needs to be retested to verify its quality of the program.
- The cases which are being retested cannot be computerized.
Process of Retesting:
As per the Bug Life Cycle, once a tester found a bug, the bug is reported to the Development Team. The status of the Bug should be “New”. The Development Team may accept or reject the bug.
If the development team accepts the bug then they do fix it and release it in the next release. The status of the bug will be “Ready For QA”. Now the tester verifies the bug to find out whether it is resolved or not. This testing is known as retesting. Retesting is planned testing.
We do use the same test cases with the same test data which we used in the earlier build. If the bug is not found then we do change the status of the bug to “Fixed” else we do change the status to “Not Fixed” and send a Defect Retesting Document to the development team.
When Do We Do Re-testing:
- When there is a particular bug fix specified in the Release Note:
Once the development team releases the new build, then the test team has to test the already posted bugs to make sure that the bugs are fixed or not. - When a Bug is rejected:
At times, the development team refuses a few bugs which were raised by the testers and mentions the status of the bug as Not Reproducible. In this case, the testers need to retest the same issue to let the developers know that the issue is valid and reproducible. - When a Client calls for a retesting:
At times, the Client may request us to do the test again to gain confidence in the quality of the product. In this case, test teams do test the product again.
Use of Re-testing in Software Testing:
- Retesting is used when there is any specific error or bug which needs to be verified.
- It is used when the bug is rejected by the developers then the testing department tests whether that bug is actual or not.
- It is also used to check the whole system to verify the final functionality.
- It also checks the quality of a specific part of a system.
- When some user demands to retest their system.
An instance of Retesting:
Let’s assume that there is an application that maintains the details of all the students in school. This application has four buttons Add, Save, Delete and Refresh. All the other buttons’ functionality is working as expected but clicking on the ‘Save’ button is not saving the details of the student. This is a bug that is caught by the tester and he raised it. This issue is assigned to the developer and he fixes it. Post fixing the issue it’s again assigned to the tester. This time tester tested only the ‘Save’ button functionality. This is called retesting.
Advantages of Retesting:
- Retesting ensures that the bug is being fixed completely and working successfully according to the user.
- It enhances the quality of the product or application.
- The bug can be fixed in a short period as it targets a particular issue.
- Retesting doesn’t require any specific or other software for testing.
- It can perform with the same data and the same process with a new build for its execution.
Disadvantages of Retesting:
- Retesting needs a new build for the qualifying verification process of the bug.
- If the testing process is started then at that time, the test cases of the retesting can be obtained but not previously.
- At the time of testing, retesting cannot be computerized.
- When the retesting results are unsuccessful, it requires more time and effort for fixing all the issues.
Conclusion:
Retesting is an important and required testing type assuring system reliability and flawlessness. It confirms that failed test cases have been solved giving relief to not only testing and development teams but also to the client.
