Regression Testing - it is method of testing when bug is logged and fixed it by doveloper ---

regression testing can be done in tow method

1- Between testing bug is found

2- In the middle dovelopment/testing process  a functionality to be added

While in Retesting ---

Tester test the application by quick view means it is like cursory testing

Regression Testing..
When a tester finds any bug and sends the bug report to the developer to fix that.
After the bug is fixed the tester will get a new build (.exe) he starts test the EXE.
That is what he is doing the regression test. That means regression testing is done
with a new build (after the bug is fixed)
Eg:- If there is a application which has a data field where only number are
allowed but the date field is accepting some characters and special characters then
it is bug. So this bug is send to the developer and he fix that and send
the new build(.exe). Later the tester will test the date field which he found a
bug previously (previous build or exe). So he is doing the regression.

Re-Testing..
There a Login application in which the tester should check the valid user,
so he will enter so combinations of user name and passwords in the field and
check the valid user. So the user is doing the Re-Testing. That is Testing an
application with same build but with different inputs.

Re-testing: Retesting is testing that module once again in which the bug was found. Its done after the developer fixes the bug, Say for example in Module 1 a bug was found. Its fixed by the developer and then sent to re-testing.

Regression Testing: Regression testing is testing the modules which are dependent on module which was retested. Here for example...Module 2 and Module 4 are dependent on Module 1 (Which was retested). So regression testing is done for Module 2 and Module 4 to see if the change in code in Module 1 brings any change in Module 2 and Module 4 since they are dependent on Module1. Hope it answers the question.

Regression testing is nothing but retesting after fix the bug's or modified the application, means if tester find any bug give a status as open and send to development team, after fix the bug development team again send to testing team, then once again we are test the same application it is calling regression testing....

Retesting: retesting is nothing but retest the whole application with different input values called retesting...
