Exact Difference between Sanity and Smoke Testing

Answer Posted / tulasi srinivas

To my understanding: The objective of both these tests are
almost same. The ends at which they are performed are
different.

Smoke testing is done on the changed and existing code of
application, before it is checked in to the Version control
system and release marked to QA. Hence this is done at the
Development end.

Sanity testing is done in the areas of new fixes given as
well as existing functionality of the system - to assess
whether a release can be accepted for QA. Hence this is
done at the QA End.
