Haha, I love these trick questions! I'm going to go with A, but I'm also tempted to pick E just for the comedic value of developers doing regression testing.

I'm going with D. That just makes the most sense to me - re-testing uses different environments, while regression testing uses the same one.

This is a tricky one! I was debating between A and B, but I think A makes the most sense. Re-testing is just repeating the same tests, while regression testing is about finding new issues.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I was thinking C might be the right answer, since re-testing is usually done after fixes are made, and regression testing is earlier in the process.

I agree with you, Josephine. Re-testing is more about making sure the same test passes again, while regression testing is about checking for unintended consequences.
