The selective retesting of a software system that has been modified to ensure that any bugs have been fixed and that no other previously working functions have failed as a result of the reparations and that newly added features have not created problems with previous versions of the software . There are 3 objectives :
1) Check that the bug was actually addressed.
2) Try to find related bugs.
3) Check the rest of the programs. Over time, you will develop a library of test cases. The idea behind regression testing is that wherever a new version of the program is submitted for testing, you should run every test in the library.
