Answer / gurpreet
When a bug is fixed by the developer it is again retested by the tester to verify if it is fixed, this is known as retest bug whereas a bug which occurs in some module as a result of modifications in some other module of the system is regression bug.

Regression bug – Changes in existing code that change the
behavior of the application so it does not meet a
specification that was previously met.

Answer / nilanjan saha
When in the testing process Tester report a bug, after that
it get assigned to a specified developer. After fixation of
that bug it again comes for retesting to that the bug
really get fixed or not. It is also called as Confirmation
testing.
Due to fixation of that specific bug it might affect some
adverse effect to other modules then those newly generated
bugs are termed as regression Bugs. Regression testing is
generally Automated.

Retesting:when a defect is fixed by the developer, after that to verify that defect or test the defect again and again with different type of input data is known as retesting.
Regression Testing:If any changes done on the existing build this test is conducted on modified build because of this changes will effect on changed functionality and unchanged functionality.

Retesting:- Retesting is a confirmation testing which ensures that bug has been fixed or not.we perform same test steps to find out bug is fixed or not.
Regression:- Regression test ensures that unchanged area of the application will not be affected by bug fixation.our core functionality should be same.

Retesting :- "Rexecution of fail testing".
Retesting is running the previously failed test cases again on the new software to verify whether the defects posted earlier are fixed or not.
In simple word, Retesting is testing a specific bug after it was fixed.
Regression Testing :- "Rexecution of pass testing".
In three cases we needs to do regression testing-
(i) After Bug Fix
(ii) After enhancement or new feature added
(iii) Environment change
