If you have raised a bug and after the developer fixes it, testers need to verify that whether after fix the functionality is as expected. The process is call retest. On the other hand Regression testing is the process where the software under test goes through multiple release( i.e build release) and every time we have to run the whole set of test cases to ensure that after every release the software confirms with the requirements.

 Testing for the solved/fixed bugs in new release will be retesting.

Testing the new functionality or testing the application again in new release to check that implementing new functionality or solvation of reported issues has not created new bugs in the same form

Dear friend

My answer will be quite large..

Please go through it........

Regression Testing is the Re-execution of the same test cases which has executed once before to check that the reported bugs has fixed properly and it has not created any other  new defects during fixing the reported one..

There are 3 types of Regression Testing

1) UNIT Regression Testing

2) REGIONAL Regression Testing

3) FULLY Regression  Testing

Unit Regression Testing means suppose you are conform that if we will fix this bug then it has no side effect ( it will not create any other defects ). in this case no need to go for related area testing

Regional Regression Testing means suppose there is a chance of distrubance of a particular region if we will fix this bug. then this time we should go for that particular regression testing of that region....

FULLY Regression Testing means suppose there is a chance of distrubance of fully built if we will fix this bug. Then in this case we should go for regression testing of Full built.........

So

UNIT REGRESSION TESTING IS SAME AS RETESTING.......

If still any doubt contact with me

Retesting:

               It is the process of Reproducing the same by the devolepor after fixing it to the Testor.

Regression:

               Whenever a new functionality is incorporated in to the application we have to make sure that it should not give adverse effect to the sorrounding functionality.So, in this testing again we need to for first to last means whatever the functionalities are effected with that particular functionality.

                 And it is a very Time Taken Process.

Unit regression testing cannot be equal to regression testing as regression testing is testing done on a modified build. retesting is not done on a modified build, (retesting is testing done on same build - testing done for rechecking the test casses prepared for the day).

Retesting - testing what developer fixed or developed.

Regression - ensuring nothing else got broke during the fixes associated to the release.

Regression testing is the testing of an application on new build or version or change in the application environment.

Retesting is testing an application again and again, this can be as simple as just opening an application and closing it for checking the memory leak bug.

Ans:- Retest: Testing the same application with different input values is retesting.

Regression: After fixing bug in application we re-execute the application to ensure bug fixing work to be done or not and occurance of side effect due to modification on the application.

 Retest : To test again.
A second or repeated test.
 
Regression Testing:Regression testing is the process of testing changes to computer programs to make sure that the older programming still works with the new changes. Regression testing is a normal part of the program development process and, in larger companies, is done by code testing specialists. Test department coders develop code test scenarios and exercises that will test new units of code after they have been written. These test cases form what becomes the test bucket. Before a new version of a software product is released, the old test cases are run against the new version to make sure that all the old capabilities still work. The reason they might not work is because changing or adding new code to a program can easily introduce errors into code that is not intended to be changed.

Regression testing is carried out to ensure that the bug never occurs again in a test case after consequent changes made in the program, where as retesting is carried out to confirm the bug whether it is a bug or not by giving different input values.

            Regression testing is carried out only after fixing up the errors. Retesting is carried out in each and every part of testing if necessary.
