Hi,

Generally, Regression testing is done on a modified build. Initially we execute the all test cases on the build no.1. when we found any bugs we'll post those bugs to developers. Developer will fix the bugs.and release build no.2. Now, we re-execute the failed testcases along with some other test cases which may got affected by the bug fixing work. These re-executed test cases should be identified properly.

thank you

Regression testing means atest to verify that already tested software srill functioning correctly or not effected by any changes in test conditions and test environment

After fixing the bug repeat the testing to find what is the effect of the fixed bug on remaining components with different environments and different input conditions

Hi,

Regression Testing: Testing of an application to ensure bug fixes and change requests (enhancements) made to it doesn?t cause any unwanted flaws in the application. Automated testing tools can be especially useful for this type of testing.

Regression testing involves re-using manual tests or automated scripts to ensure that suspected vulnerable functionalities are tested on a periodic basis (typically each and every build).  There are several kinds of regression tests:

Bug fix regression:  Tests are run on new bug fixes to validate they are fixed.

Old bugs regression:  Tests are run on previously fixed functionalities to ensure code changes haven't resurrected old bugs. 

Side-effects regression:  Tests are run on a broad range of functionalities to ensure that changes do break areas that have been proven to work.
