Retesting and Regression testing are well known terms in software testing domain. In the software development life cycle, the software undergoes changes after detection of bugs.
During this process, when one tests a module and finds a bug and before submitting it to the development team, carries out the same testing again, this process is called retesting.
On the other hand, when we get a "repaired" module(i.e. after the identified bugs are removed by the developer), then execution of all earlier tests is called as Regression Testing. WinRunner is a very popular playback tool used for regression testing across software industry.
