The difference between smoke and sanity testing is
in smoke testing tester concentrate on the major
functionality of the application whether it is working or
not for further functionality.eg.build crash,environmental
effect,networking etc
where as in sanity testing basic functionalities are
tested,eg.check boxes,radio buttons,text boxes,list boxes
et.

basic functionality

Smoke Testing:
It is also called as Build Verification Test.It is nothing
but "Test to pass".Testing whether the build is ready for
Test.
Sanity Test:
Testing whether build is ready for further tests.It is done
by either Development team before Build is going to deploy
or Test team before taking the Build.
Conclusion:
Some times both are same as per my knowledge.

Answer / youngblood
Smoke testing : Testing the build to make sure it is stable or not. if yes, further testing types will be continued.
Sanity Testing : It is similar to smoke test. But a particular functionality is tested in-depth to ensure it is developed according to the specification.

TESTING THE BASIC FEATURE OR CRITICAL FEATURE OF AN

TESTING.
TESTING THE USABILITY AND AVAILABILITY OF AN APPLICATION IS
CALLED SANITY TESTING.
