What is difference between regression testing and re- testing?..

Answer / rashmi rai

As per my knoeledge i think, Regression testing is made
whenever changes occur in tne modules to make ensure that
changes has not affected the other modules.So thats why in
this we execute the whole build.
And in retesting we cant execute the whole build,in this we
execute build only to check the functionality of module if
any problem found and for that part only.
