I had a query: Regression testing is basically done for veryfying if any of the previous bug fixes/modification of code has broken the application.

So, basically, it is not done for testing new functionality, it is to test modified/changed functionality.

Then how can statement 2 be correct
Regressoin Testing should be used to detect defects in new features?

I strongly agree with TESTER

The choices are not specific to regression at all, in a practical sense.  Definitions are very specific to what a company follows... not in my experience i had anything like this.

Regression test cases change with the included functinality, its not baseline testing a far as i am concerned. 

Regression Testing should be targeted to areas of high risk and known code change
Man, this is prioritised regression testing.

Regression Testing, when automated, is highly effective in preventing defects

I am not very sure if this is a good statement.

Hai Guys

 Basically regression testing

  after modifications done by developer, tester is going to do regression testing to ensure that new errors r not introduced because of that modification.

This Modification can be Bug Fixing or Change in Customer Requireemnts(New Features).

I am another who agrees with TESTER.#2 has nothing to do with regression testing since as a new feature no bugs have yet been found

How can 2 be the right answer for this???It clearly says detect defects in new features.
REGRESSION testing is to check that the change or enhancement does not affect the affect the existing syatem.
3 & 4 is the right answer

hi
no one can concentrating on 3rdstatement, Up to my knowledge regression testing is aslo  re testing of selective testcases for the dependent functionality on the  MODIFIED BUILD .not on every build.
on first build we can not do regression testing
