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 / awin

Sanity Testing is used to check whether it is REASONABLE to
carry out further testing or not whereas Smoke testing
checks whether its POSSIBLE to carry out the testing.An
ideal sanity test exercises the smallest subset of the
application functions needed to determine whether the
application logic is functional & correct whereas in smoke
testing the tester touches all areas of application without
going deep. eg. interest calculation of a financial
application is sanity testing.On the other hand tests like
can i open the page or is a button on the page working
properly are examples of Smoke testing.
