Regression testing is done to check two important aspects.
1. Whether a previously posted bug is fixed in the new
build or not.
2. Whether fixing of bug caused any problems elsewhere in
the build.
Pls correct if I am wrong.

Hi Ravi,
As much as I know your 2nd point is valid and related to
Regression Testing. But 1st point defines the process of
Retesting.
Hence in my point of view- Regression Testing is done to
ensure that any Bug Fixation, any change or any
modification made to the software application has not
brocken any existing functionality.

Answer / mayank
Regression testing is performed whenever any changes have
been made to a particular module of a software and tested
that weather changes made in this module have not effected
the functionality of other modules of the software which we
have not changed.
