Test Strategy
The Test Strategy is the plan for how you are going to approach testing. It is like a project charter that tells the world how you are going to approach the project

Retesting : testing a function with different sets of input data repeatedly.
EX: testing the user id field with different types r different lenghts like taking into consideration of BVA and ECP is called as retesting
Regression Testing: Testing the function after its has been fixed by the developer to validate whether it has been fixed and at the same time checking all the related functionalities of the application is called as regression testing

Thumbs up Re: What is the actual different between- retesting and regression testing? Briefly explain.

REGRESSION TESTING:
IS ATYPE OF TESTING IN WHICH ALREADY TESTED FUNCTIONALITIES ARE TESTED ONCE AGAIN.USUALLY WE DO IT IN 2 SCENARIOS
1)WHEN EVER THE DEFECTS ARE RAISED BY T.E &RECTIFIED BY THE DEVELOPERS AND THE NEXT BUILD IS RELEASED TO THE TESTING DEPARTMENT THEN THE T.E WILL TEST THE DEFECT FUNCTIONALITY AS WELL AS THE RELATED FUNCTIONALITIES ONCE AGAIN TO ENSURE THAT HIS OLD FUNCTIONALITY REMAINS SAME.
2)WHEN EVER THE NEW CHANGES ARE INCORPORATED BY DEVELOPER AND RELEASED TO TESTING DEPARTMENT THEN THE T.E WILL TEST THE ALREADY TESTED FUNCTIONALITIES INORDER TO ENSURE HIS FUNCTIONALITY REMAINS SAME DESPITE OF NEW CHANGES.
RETESTING:
IS ATYPE OF TESTING IN WHICH ONE WILL PERFORM TESTING ON THE TESTED FUNCTIONALITIES WITH MULTIPLE SETS OF DATA INORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE APPLICATION FUNCTIONALITY IS WORKING FINR OR NOT.IF AT ALL ANY DEFECTS WHETHER THEY ARE REPROCIBLE OR NOT.
