Regression Testing is the execution of all or a select group of test cases that have passed on the earlier build or release of the application under test so that you can validate, the original functions and features are still working as they were in the past.
The test cases we use are derived from the functional specification, the user manuals, user tutorials, and defect reports in relation to corrected problems.

etesting is the execution of one or a set of test cases, which previously failed due to a suspected defect in the software which now is documented as being remedied.
However, the fix may introduce fault elsewhere in the software. The way to detect these "unexpected side effects" of fixes is to do regression testing as mentioned above.
