what is difference between regression and retesting?
urgent

Answer Posted / ganesh

Regression and retesting are done on the current build but
for different reasons.

Regression: This is to ensure that due to the newly
introduced functionalities, the existing functionality is
not affected.

Retest: This is to ensure that the defect raised has been
fixed properly. Defect may be raised against the newly
introduced functionality or the existing functionality but
the aim is to ensure that the raised defect has been fixed
successfully.
