Answer / dhaarani
The objective of regression testing is to check whether the
change done has changed any functionality that was not to
be impacted by that change. It is done with the intend of
determining if bug fixes have been successful and they have
not created any new problems.

Answer / krishna
when a defect is reported in the s/w,the developper makes
some change to the s/w to remove that defect,it is likely
that the change made in the code may lead to another defect
that may not be visible immediately..
so regression testing is done precisely to ensure that
change in one part of s/w has no ill effect on other parts
of the s/w.
