Answer / harsha

Smoke Testing:-
This is an intial testing performed on thebuild
displayed n test envoronment by the developement teamIt is
a quick check performed on every build to evaluate its
stabilty before it is accepted for extensive test execution.

Sanity Testing:-
The build stability is evaluated by the team lead and
also by the developer in some situations by conserding the
pre conditions and basic functionalites

Answer / qa engineer

As per my view
Both we do at the time of initial level to measure stability
of a new build. but bit difference is
Sanity : doing testing on entire application randomly on any
area
Smoke : we do testing on specific areas only

But in the common both carry the same meaning.

Answer / shyam

As per me

Smoke Testing-

It is Done by Developer to check whether the built is ready
to release for Testing or not.
Here Developer check main functionality of application is
working or not.It is cursory testing of built.It is just
like normal health checkup.It is scripted.It is wide and
shallow testing of built.

Sanity testing.

Sanity Testing is done by Testing team or Testing TL.It is
complatly or through testing of functionality of
application.It is narrow and in depth testing. It is non
Scripted. It is also called as BVT.Sanity Testing is a
subset of regression testing and a group of test cases r
executed that r related with the change made to the
application.

To clear Above Concept I want to give one Small Eg.here.

Suppose X Person is going to Purchase a new bike.

Teking a test ride to test basic functionality of the bike
at showroom can b compared to Smoke testing. A product in
the above story Mr.X was determining in the basic features
of the bike were stable and acceptable.
In further testing....
Testing bike performance in detail after bringing it home
can b compared to Sanity Testing of a product.Testing all
these features was not possible in shoeroom or while taking
a Test ride of Bike.

Answer / swarupa nagpurkar

Most of time Smoke testing is done by Test lead or by
developer before built is hand over to Test team or tester
and Sanity testing is done by Tester.

Answer / harish

Smoke Testing: It is narrow testing, here we test only Main features of the application, we give mose importance in covering all the area of the application not going in deep.

In simple it is testing all the basic features(say all positive t.c's) of the app.

Ex: in Gmail we test the Login, Without the successful login u cannot go further into the application.

Sanity Testing: Here we test the individual modules in deapth. we consider single module of the application and test all the possibilities

Answer / ravindra

smoke and sanity testing more or less both are same
....mainly it will be done by the test engineers but even
developer can also do the smoke testing while doing the
white-box testing...chances are there....bcoz by testing
main features which are critical it will better for black
box testing....

Answer / narasinga rao

As per my basic level,Tester is going to do Smoke and
Sanity Testing.Why because,After releasing the build
initially we(Testers)are only going to do Smoke and Sanity
on application.
