What is the difference between smoke and sanity testing?
and when we perform smoke testing and when we perform
sanity testing?

Answer Posted / abdul.sameer

There is not much difference between smoke and sanity testing.

The functionality testing we do for both is the same. The
type of testing we do is same but the only difference is the
team who does it.

Smoke testing: it is also called as Build Verification Test.
The developer's team after finishing there coding part they
go through the entire application which they complete (
which we call is a build) to check whether it is working
properly according to there requirement. Here each and every
developers check there own functionality and once they feel
it is good then they give a statement to tester team that
build is ready to test.


Sanity Testing:- It is also called as Tester verification
Test.Now to accept the build which developers are given
tester too check for the minimal functionality working
conditions. They check the minimal functioanlity and check
whether it is suitable for the testing team to conduct
testing or not.

In one way tester check whether the build is in
testable condition or not.


THe way the functionalit testing goes is exactly the same in
both smoke and sanity testing. the only different is
developers conduct they test called as smoke testing before
they hand over the build to testers and testers check the
functionality of the build to check whether it is suitable
to accept for further major testing before accepting the
build of testing.


I hope this might help you.
