Answer / srijith
Bit confused with above answers.What i have been hearing is
Smoke
1. More of build acceptance testing.
2. Covers a wider area of functionality at high level.
3. Not in depth testing.
4. Test Results should be published on within hours.
Sanity
1. Covers a narrow functionality.
2. More in Depth Testing
3. Test Results should be published on within hours.
When will sanity testing been done.
One thought is when some defect get fixed we might require
to perform a more in depth testing of corrected functionality.
Then will regression go.
My understanding is regression can cover more functionalit.
Bcoz regression would be prepared for whole application and
we test engineers can choose which needs be regression tested.
PLease reply with correct answers. Looks like too many
technical jargons for same testing.

Answer / dupati kalyan krishna
Smoke : smoke testing is a non ecxhaustive software
testing he we will see the most crucial function of a
program but need not bother about finer details
SANITY:
iT IA A NARROW REGRESSION TEST , HERE WE WILL FOCUS ON ONE
ARE MORE FUNCTIONAL AREA OF APPLICATION
sANITY TESTING IS NARROW AND DEEP

Answer / ravi kumar
Smoke Testing: When a build is released to testing
department, the test engineer would first check for
availability of all major functionalities in the build. If
there is any major functionality missing in the build, the
tester would reject the build and would ask for a patch. It
is also called build verification testing or tester
acceptance testing.
Sanity Testing: In case of sanity testing, a test engineer
would check for any extra functionalities in the build with
respect to requirements document. It is also called garbage
testing.

Answer / mayur karote
Srijith's Ans is right.
Again with Smoke testing, When a build is received and say
there are 10 tester's who were suppose to test the build,
then a group of 2-3 testers will make a quick round of
testing where the will find commen bugs (say installation
error). Otherwise if 10 testers starts testing and all gets
same error then it would be wastage of time of all 10 testers.
Where Sanity testing will be performed to check major
functionality is working or not for a perticular build.

Answer / anitha bharathan
Smoke testing:
Smoke testing is usually did by the developers,which helps
them to decide whether the application is ready for
testing...Whether will give the build for testing like
that...
Sanity testing:
Sanity testing is done by the testers which helps then to
decide whether to accept the build or not..Major
functionalities have been tested here...
Please correct me if it is wrong....

ANITHA, you are completely WRONG. SMOKE & SANITY TESTING
DONE BY TESTERS ONLY.
SMOKE TEST: Means at least software working or not with out
any run time issues.
SANITY TEST: Means Due to modification in the software
build, is there any most related modules are effected or
not. just like cross checking even if it was passed
previously, there may be a chance to effect by the modification.
EXAMPLE: i am a tester, developer released one software
build for testing, first i will Conduct SMOKE TEST means, i
am checking overall functionality of the software is ok or
not, Then i conduct Real testing, now i got one defect in my
app, then reported the defect to Defect tracking team, they
conformed that is BUG, Then they forward the defect to
Developer, then Developer fix the BUG and released Modified
Build, now again as a tester i will conduct SMOKE TEST once
again to check functionality of the software and then check
weather the BUG is fixed or not, if bug is fixed, then i
will conduct SANITY TEST. Means that, DUE TO MODIFICATION,
IS THERE ANY MOST RELATED MODULES ARE EFFECTED OR NOT, here
we will conduct previously passed test for conformation, if
a previous tests are passed then will go for Regression
Testing.
