Answer / shweta
Smoke testing is nothing but normal health check to a build
of an application before taking it to the testing in depth.
where as the narrow regression test that focuses on one or
few areas of functionality is what we call as \sanity
testing.

sanity testing is nothing but reciving modified buil from

Answer / smarty
Smoke testing Is a non-exhaustive software testing,
ascertaining that the most crucial functions of the program
work well, without getting bothered about finer details of
it.
Whereas "Sanity Testing" Is an initial testing effort to
find out if the new software version is performing well
enough to accept it for a major testing effort. For
example, if the new software is crashing the systems every
5 minutes, bogging down the systems to a crawl, or
destroying the databases, then it can be concluded that the
software may not be in a 'sane' enough condition to warrant
further testing in its current state.

Answer / smruti
My ans is smoke testing is done by Developer's team just
before releasing of the Build . And sanity testing is
nothing but Build verification testing done by testing team
after release of build by developers for observable ,
operatable , maintainable, automatable & simplicity of the
build . check it out plz . Thanks !

smoke test is performed before testing is conducted in order
to verify the functionality is testable or not, it verifies
the core functionality of the application
Sanity Testing
Once a new build is obtained with minor revisions, instead
of doing a through regression, a sanity is performed so as
to ascertain the build has indeed rectified the issues and
no further issue has been introduced by the fixes. Its
generally a subset of regression testing and a group of test
cases are executed that are related with the changes made to
the app.

Answer / anu
both sanity and smoke testing are done to check whether the build is ready for testing and to check its stability.
But sanity testing is in depth testing that means it covers major and minor functionalities of an app.it is usually done by both developers and testers.this testing done at entry/exit stage of each phase.
smoke testing covers major functionalities and it can be done at any point.
