Tell exact difference b/w Smoke and Sanity testing with
example?

Answer Posted / satish

Generally, a smoke test is scripted (either using a written
set of tests or an automated test), whereas a sanity test is
usually unscripted.

Smoke Test
----------
In software testing, a smoke test is a collection of written
tests that are performed on a system prior to being accepted
for further testing. This is also known as a build
verification test.

Sanity Test
-----------
A classic example of this in programming is the hello world
program. If a person has just set up a computer and a
compiler, a quick sanity test can be performed to see if the
compiler actually works.
