Answer / edeprabhakar

no regression testing and retesting are different
Regression testing means testing the already functionality
in two different sinerios

doveloper the doveloper rectifies them and send it to the
testing department, the test engineer once again test all
the module testing by him because if any modifications are
done by the doveloper and due to these changes whether his
application is effected or not
2.whenever any new changes are made by the doveloper the
test engineer once again test all the application tested by
him to confirm that his application is safe.
