regression testing of existing functionality
Explanation:
In the software testing profession this type of testing is almost exclusively referred to as 'regression testing' rather than 'non-regression', although its purpose is indeed to ensure the non-regression of functionality that was already present before the latest round of modifications.

There's a very useful glossary of testing terms available from the ISTQB site - see link.

ensuring that previously existing features continue to function correctly


Explanation:
As we all know, the problem with updating software is that adding new features tends to mean that existing ones stop working! That's what this is about.

Reference: non régression in computing context defined

Reference information:
i.e. non-regression testing

"Non-regression testing (NRT) is an approach to software testing. The purpose of non-regression testing is to verify whether, after introducing or updating a given software application, previous software functions have not been compromised. The goal is to prevent software regression, whereby adding new features results in software bugs."
