difference between regression testing and re testing?

Answer Posted / ram

retesting is testing the same build with multiple test data.

where as regression testing is done after the bug fixes or
after any enhancements are done.in regression testing we
not only test the test case where the defect was found but
we also check some related test cases to make sure if the
fix or enhancement has affected any related functionality.
this is done on the new build after bug fixes or
enhancements
