What is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?..

Answer / nidhigupta

Smoke Testing is the first thing we do on AUT. Anytime the new build is deployed, smoke testing is the first step. In this we check that whether or not our aplication is running properly or not. and also we check that correct version is installed .
and Sanity testing is the functional testing and to check the most critical functionality is working or not.
First Smoke is performed and then Sanity.

What is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?..

Answer / kiran wale

Sanity and smoke testing are the last phase when all the integration of the modules are done.After this you have to select between these two testing.
Always have to understand that smoke testing is cursory testing of the whole software or we can say basic functionality of the software while sanity testing is in depth testing of any one module selected from the software.
Both sanity and smoke testing are implements when time is limited and software have to be launch.
