Answer / arvi

No.Retest and Regression testing are different.
Retest is nothing but testing the same funtionality again

Answer / kk

Regression Testing : In Sytem testing round 1 if we are
testing 4 modules like A,B,C,D then if we log a defect on D
module and remaining A,B,C modules are executed and passed
in the Round1. Once the defect of D module get fixed and
resolved then we have to test the D module as well as
previously passed A,B,C Modules to ensure that the changes
of D module shows any impact on already passed A,B,C modules

Retest : Testing the same functionality and executing the
same test cases again is called Retest.

Answer / t.sathya

No,once the defect is fixed it goes for retesting to
uncover the defects within the same module whereas
regression testing is testing an already tested application
to ensure that modifications done for fixing the defect do
not cause any impact to the rest of the modules.

Regression testing:)Reexecution of same old test cases in
different builds or releases to ensure that changes(i.e
additon,deletion,modification of featuers or defect fix)has
not introduced any defects in the unchanged featurs.

Retestig:)After doing any changes to any one feature in
the module we test that particular feature only and we will
not test the remaining features.
