what is the diffrence b/w Regression testing and re-testing

Answer Posted / vidya

Regression testing:

Re execution of a selected test case on modified build to
ensure bug fix work and occurances of side effects is
called regression test.

Retesting:

Re executing the same test more than one time with multiple
test data.it is also called iterative or re-testing.


For Example: There are 10 testcases to be passed for a
requirement. But 10th testcase failed and tester raised a
defect in the defect log.

Retesting: After the above defect is fixed, tester need to
execute the 10th testcase to check the expected result for
the same.

Regression Testing: After the above defect is fixed, tester
need to execute the 20% of above testcases by selecting
randomly to make sure that existing functionality is not
broken because of the above fix.
