 I divide it in two parts only :-- They are Partial Regression and Full Regression testing...  but you may get to see 

Unit Regression too... 

Let us see what is Regression testing:-------------

When testing is done to ensure that the changes have not affected the unchanged area of the soft its called regression testing . looking for the side effects of the changes..  in other words we can say : When testing is done to ensure that the fixes has not introduced the new bugs to be appear ....

Regression is done in two situations :---------

 1) If software has been changed ( because of fixes or Adding extra functionality or deleting existing functionality )

 2) If the Environment changes still we will do regression..

there are two types of regression testing:

Top down approach: in top down approach testing conducting on main modules to submodules if sub modules are not developed and a temporary programme called stub is used to stimulate the sub module.

Bottom up approach: in bottom up approach testing is conducted on sub modules to main modules if main modules are not developed the a temporary programme called driver is used to stimulate the main module

when we do regression testing:

-after defect is fixed

-any new functionality is added

-environment change

-sudden fall in defect density

-if the system undergoes more than 2-4 releases

 Santosh,

      I am sorry to interrupt but I have to :- 

Actually Bottom up and Top down are not the types of Regression testing in fact they are the two mostly used approaches of Integration testing ...!

Unit regression testing-----Testing  only one specific fixed unit or feature .(Specific field)

Region regression testing--Testing the changes and the impact regions is called Regional Regression testing.  (Affecting  other  functionality)

Full regression testing----  Testing the changes and all the remaining features , and  when the changes

                                       are in base done of the application or when environment the modifications or 

                                        changes are more in the  application we will for for full regression testing.
