The term Retesting is used in the area of Defect Validation where we are checking whether the defects claimed to be fixed by the development is actually fixed.

Regression is when we are executing a set of test cases from the master set to see that all the major functionalities are working fine and no satellite impact of bug fixes are imparted on the application.

Retesting Testing : Re-testingafter fixes or modifications of the software or its environment. Itcan be difficult to determine how much re-testing is needed. Especially near the end of the development cycle.
Regression Testing : To verify the bugs and its impact on the application whether it's in effect or not .
Automated testingtools can be especially useful for Regression testing.

Hi,

 Retesting:

     Retesting means we are going to check weather the bug is fixed or not

Regression testing:

   After getting confirmation the bug is fixed we are going to check the fixation is

  going to create any problems in the application or not.that means due to the fixation

 of the bug we got any side effects or not.

Regards,

Regression Testing : Retesting a previously tested program following modification to ensure that faults have not been introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes made.

Retesting:- After fixing of the bug or if some modification occured in the application,then testing the particular area where the bug is occured or modified.This is Retesting.Regression Testing:-Testing the particular area (where the bug occured or modified) as well as the dependent area on which the the module depends is called as Regression testing.
