Regression testing is an iterative process executed throughout the software development and testing cycle. Regression testing focuses on previously tested aspects, features which were tested and found working, or bugs which were found and confirmed fixed, in earlier versions of the software. The purpose of regression testing is to make sure that those previously verified features still work.

For example, consider a software release that includes two new features, A and B. While the developers are still working on feature B, test is already examining feature A. When A is found working as planned, testing proceeds to feature B, while regression testing affirms that nothing in feature B broke A.
