Smoke Test:

When a build is received, a smoke test is run to ascertain
if the build is stable and it can be considered for further
testing. Smoke testing can be done for testing the
stability of any interim build. Smoke testing can be
executed for platform qualification tests.

Sanity testing:

Once a new build is obtained with minor revisions, instead
of doing a through regression, 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 / piyush

Smoke and Sanity tests are used to reject build if it is not suitable to test.

Smoke test is performed on the code received for the very first time and is considerably unstable.

Where as Sanity test is performed on the code which went through testing cycles 2-3 times and is relatively stable.

Answer / vijaya

Sanity testing means initial testing done to check the
environment well suites for the testing process or not..
Smoke testing is similar to sanity but with some specific
reason mentioning why our testing process is stopped..
Exploratory testing means testing the process without any
specific plans and schedules.
