Answer / hima bindu

when a new build is received from developers we do check
for some basic functionality in the application(Ex :
Navigating to all the tabs/links in the application).This
is called smoke testing

It can be other way also when the final build is frozen and
ready to be shipped into market some smoke testing is
performed.

Sanity testing : Checking for the functionality of the
module/application,whether it is working as expected is
sanity testing.

Answer / rkcr

Smoke testing is done by developers before the build is
released or the testing done by testers before accepting
the build.

Sanity testing provides whether it is reasonable to proceed
with further testing

Answer / prashant singh

Sanity testing or Build verification test(BVT):- Whenever
we receive abuild from development team the basic features
of the application is tested to verify the stability of the
appication for further testing.

SMoke testing:- It is Similar like sanity test, this test
is conducted to verify, are there any issues in Software,
before releasing to the Test Team.

Sanity testing is done by Test engineer.

Smoke testing is done by Developer or White box engineers.

Answer / pp

I think Prashant is right except for the fact that Sanity
Testing is done before the product is to be launched to
check whether after bug fixing the application is working
fine.
