Answer / babji

ReTesting: execution of testcases is repeated with
differnet sets of data to ensure that the function/program
under test is functioning right

Regression Testing: is conducted in two situations
first, when the build is modified to fix a defect; second,
the build is modified to accommdate a new
feature/requirement. In both the cases, regression testing
is conducted to ensure that the modification does not
bring new defects;in other words, it does not affect the
unchanged build badly;

Retesting...most of the test are executed
Regression...high priority testcases are executed
