Regression testing is intended to uncover any bug that may have been introduced in the application as a side effect of fixing some other bug. So all the test cases are run. This is different from Unit testing, where we run only unit tests for the unit where we fixed the bug. Stress testing stresses particular functionality so see where is will break etc. For example a good stress test for MS Word may be to open a file in MS Word and keep writing text to it till it breaks.
Regression testing is something every programmer should do after changing the code. Elderly individuals sometimes undergo a remarkable regression to a childlike state. The military's observers reported the regression of the country to a feudal state.
