What is the difference b/w Smoke and Sanity Testing? I heard
that Sanity testing will be done by developers. Is that so?

Answer Posted / sonia

SMOKE Testing - When a tester get build from the Dev,
tester perform the initial testing to ensure that the basic
functionality is working fine or not. If not then further
detail testing is not proceeded. This initial testing
before the detail testing is known as SMOKE testing.

Sanity Testing - Once the all the test cycles have been
executed and all the open defects have been fixed and
retested, now before providing the signoff for next phase
testers needs to do Sanity testing to test some critical
functionality which will ensure that the defect fixes have
not disturb the other functionality. This test cycle is
short and quick and is known as Sanity testing.
