Regression testing is meant for regression defects. Regression defects are defects due to which the functionality which was working first normally has stopped working. This is probably because of changes made in the program or the environment. To uncover such kind of defects regression testing is conducted.
If a defect is fixed in an existing application then confirmation testing is done to test if the defect is removed. It is very much possible because of this defect or changes made to the application can affect other sections of the application. Regression testing is done to confirm that no other section is affected.

Regression testing is an important type of software testing that revolves around re-running functional and non-functional tests. These tests are conducted to ensure and check the previously developed and tested software still perform well even after a change is made in the software. Primarily, it checks whether the previous functionality of an application is working as intended even with a new feature added. It checks for any new bug or error in the existing software and is a verification process that takes place in the software.
