Answer / maya
Both Smoke & Sanity testing are same in one way that is,
its a build verification testing. When a particular module
is developed then developer will do smoke testing in order
to test whether the developed module is stable (which means
the basic functionalities must work) then in turn it will
be given for testing.
Now the testers will also do the build verification testing
where we call that as Sanity testing

Answer / nishi kant kumar
its not right to say that smoke testing and sanity testing
is same. both are different in some context. sanity testing
comes first and then smoke testing. sanity testing is the
initial level of testing required if the functionality
which is being tested passes through this test then it will
go for the next level of testing.
THE BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM ARE :
(1)
Smoke testing originated in the hardware testing practice
of turning on a new piece of hardware for the first time
and considering it a success if it does not catch fire and
smoke. In software industry, smoke testing is a shallow
and wide approach whereby all areas of the application
without getting into too deep, is tested.
WHERE AS
A sanity test is a narrow regression test that focuses on
one or a few areas of functionality. Sanity testing is
usually narrow and deep.
(2)
A smoke test is scripted--either using a written set of
tests or an automated test
WHERE AS
A sanity test is usually unscripted
(3)
A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the
application in a cursory way. It's is shallow and wide.
WHERE AS
A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the
application is still working after a minor change.
(4)
Smoke testing will be conducted to ensure whether the most
crucial functions of a program work, but not bothering with
finer details. (Such as build verification).
WHERE AS
Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed
whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the
application is functioning according to specifications.
This level of testing is a subset of regression testing.
SO THESE ARE THE GENERAL DIFFERENCE

I do agree with the above statement where nishi explained
but one this is wrong according statement.
Smoke testing is done first then comes the sanity testing.
Smoke teting is done by developers to check the basic code
part and there functionality is working fine or not before
giving the build to developers.
When it comes to testers they will do a sample round of
testing where we will be checking the basic functionality of
testing and give a clearance that this application meets the
minimum functionality to carry forward for other functional
testing.
rest of other things which nishi explained is right.
Always Smoke testing comes first then sanity testing.

Answer / sooraj menon
smoke testing is a non-exhaustive testing where as sanity
testing is a cursory testing,This level of testing is a
subset of regression testing . So I dont think smoke
testing is also called sanity testing

Answer / santhosh kumar s
Smoke testing and Sanity testing is different because Smoke testing is conducted by developers after defect fixing or changes taken place to find the stability of the modified build where as Sanity test is the quick & initial test performed by the testing team to estimate the testability of SUT(S/W under test).It is also called as Build verification test or Octangle test.
