Regression testing means, When a application is modified,
updated, we have to test the New features along with the
impact regions. So re-executions of test cases for
unchanged module, inorder to ensure that it is not been
affected by New features.
Re-test means, Once a bug is fixed, we have to test whether
the issue is fixed, or still exists.

Answer / sunitha
Regression testing is done to ensure that enhancement,
defect fixes or any other changes made to the software has
not broken any existing functionality.
Regression testing is a continuous process and and it
happens after every release
Testing that runs test cases that failed the last time they
were run, in order to
verify the success of corrective actions

Answer / ms sahithi
Retesting:Perform testing on the same functionality again
and again with multiple sets of data inorder to come to a
conclusion whether it is working fine or not.
Regression: Perform testing on the already tested
functionality again and again.
Difference:
Re-testing will start from first build and continuous upto
the last build.
Re-gression will start from the second build and continuous
upto the last build.
During re-gression testing also re-testing will be done
that is the reason some people call it as "Re-Regression
testing".

Retesting: In which one will perform testing on the same
functionality with multiple sets of data in order to come
to a conclusion whether it is working fine or nor.
Re-gression Testing: In which one will perform testing on
the already tested functionality again and again.
Difference:
Retesting will start from first build and continuous upto
the last build.
Regression will start from second build and continuous upto
the last build.
During Regression also Re-testing will be done that is why
it is called as Re-Regression Testing.

The process in which developers determine the root cause of a bug and identify possible fixes. d. A mismatch between the program and its specification. 5. Select a reason that does not agree with the fact that complete testing is impossible: a. The domain of possible inputs is too large to test. b. Limited financial resources. c. There are too many possible paths through the program to test. d. The user interface issues (and thus the design issues) are too complex to completely test.
