Regression testing:
The process of testing an application to identify an
impact of the bug fixed poart of the existing build of the
application on the other functionalities of the same build
of application, or to test the impact of the newly added
functionality (enhancements in the application)on the
existing functionality of the current version of the
application is Regression testing, (Impact analysis process
is carried out in this case)
Retesting:
The process of testing the application rigorously with
all the possible inputs to gain more confidence on the
functionality of the application. This process is rarely
carried out, where we have ample time.

Answer / sateesh kumar
Retesting:
First we test the total build. In that if we found bugs,we
fixed and developers close those bugs.
Again we test the modified build. This second time testing
is called retesting.
regression testing:
First we test the total build.After suppose any new
functionalites are add to that build.We test these
functionalites are effected on previous functionalites, is
called regression testing.

Answer / rashmi rai
As per my knoeledge i think, Regression testing is made
whenever changes occur in tne modules to make ensure that
changes has not affected the other modules.So thats why in
this we execute the whole build.
And in retesting we cant execute the whole build,in this we
execute build only to check the functionality of module if
any problem found and for that part only.
