. Smoke test certifies that " the sanity can be done ".
. Smoke Testing is performed to ascertain that the critical functionalities of the program is working fine
. Sanity Testing is done to check the new functionality / bugs have been fixed
. The objective of Smoke test is to verify the "stability" of the system in order to proceed with more rigorous testing.

this smoke test is done in order to find the defects earlier in the main functionalities to save the time or to minimise the cost of fixing defect.

the testing department the black box test engineers will
conduct overall testing on that build wether it is proper

WE CAN ALSO CALL IT AS BUILD ACCEPTANCE TESTING(BAT) r BUILD
