What is the difference between re testing and regression testing?..

Answer / purni

Regression testing mean when the new functionality is added
or when the bug is fixed, we need to make sure that the new
functionality or the bug fixed does not effect other parts
of the application. To test this we do repetitive testing
which is called regression testing.

Retesting means checking the bug that is fixed and make sure
it is fixed.

In the retesting we checking that particular functionality
and in regression testing we check the whole module.
