Explanation

Regression testing is the re-running of functional and non-functional tests to ensure that previously developed and tested software still performs as expected after a change. It does not involve retesting of a fixed defect, testing of new functionality, or applying only to functional testing. Tests that are used for regression testing should be repeatable, because they are used to verify the stability of the software after each change.
