and Sanity testing is the functional testing and to check the most critical functionality is working or not.
First Smoke is performed and then Sanity.

What is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?..

Answer / kiran wale

Sanity and smoke testing are the last phase when all the integration of the modules are done.After this you have to select between these two testing.

Both sanity and smoke testing are implements when time is limited and software have to be launch.
