Sanity Testing- testing the major functionality of the application is called sanity testing.once the application has developed and deploy into testing environment, We can performing the sanity testing, because if the major functionality is working properly, then only we can continue further testing in the application.

Definition wise only we have difference between sanity and smoke testing but practically both are same because only testing team performing the major functionality of the application in testing environment. That why some tester in some project called as sanity testing and some tester in some project called as smoke testing.
