Re-testing is a process of testing the fix of the bug in the same version or check whether the bug is fixed in the same version.

Regression testing is a process of checking whether the fix of the earlier bug break/effect some area in the application or

process of checking the fixed bugs in the next upgrade version.

RE: what is the actual different between re-testing ...
Re-Testing is to verify whether the particular test case or set of test cases have been carried out properly. Re-Testing can be done anytime during the SDLC.Regression Testing is done for all test cases to check for new bugs or re-occurance of old bugs. Regression Testing is usually done after every release of the Software by the developers for the testing process.

Retesting is the repeated execution of the test case which results in a fault with the aim that fault has been cured Regression testing is the renewed testing of already tested program or part after modification with the aim that the modification had not created new fault

Re-Testing: testing the same Scenario in which we kept Bug.

Regression Testing: testing other parts of the application whether any thing is effected by fixing the Bug.

RE: what is the actual different between re-testing ...
The answer is retesting involves the check for the functionality of the previous and the present build is stable or not
incase of Regression testing is checking for the newly added functionality causing any errors in terms of functionality and the
common functionality should be stable in the latest and the previous versions

RE: what is the actual different between re-testing ...

Re-testing is testing one module after as some changes of code done and testing that module only. Mostly developer conduct re-testing.

Regression testing is in which code changes in one module and testing its effect on other module. This is done on developed application and tester/developer or some time support professional does this in field cases. By : Mukesh Chauhan Bangalore

RETESTING- TESTING THE APPLICATION FOR ANY BUG FIXES. YOU FOUND BUGS ASSIGNED TO DEVELOPER TO RESOLVE THE BUS AND AFTER RECIEVING THE RESOLVED BUG FROM DEVELOPER YOU TEST THE FIX BUG AND TEST WHETHER IT IS EFFECTING THE APPLICATION OR NOT.

REGRESSION- IF ANY NEW FUNCTIONALITY IS BEING ADDED TO THE SYSTEM AND TESTING THE SYSTEM WHETHER NEW FUNCTIONALITY IS EFFECTING THE APPLICATION OR NOT.

actually re-testing is testing of an application when it is upgraded to a new version with added featuresregression testing of the application to find out that if change in module of an application has produced errors in the unchanged code

RE: what is the actual different between re-testing ...

in my words ican say that retesting is done by giving differnt multiple data and to check the appilication is going (or) running according to srs documents srs(software requirement specification) as per the clients request.

and where as regression testing is defined as that retesting the modified build (or) project to get actual values (or) results according to the clients specification
