difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?

Answer Posted / archana

1) A smoke test is scripted--either using a written set of
tests or an automated test

1) A sanity test is usually unscripted.

2) A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the
application in a cursory way. It's is shallow and wide.

2) A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of
the application is still working after a minor change.

3) Smoke testing will be conducted to ensure whether the
most crucial functions of a program work, but not bothering
with finer details. (Such as build verification).

3) Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed
whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the
application is functioning according to specifications.
This level of testing is a subset of regression testing.
