smoke testing is a testing which used to test the major
functionalities of the application. It is also called as
confidence test or build verification test. If smoke test
fails, we can ignore to do the further testings means we
can stop the testing thereitself.
sanity testing is a subset of regression testing. checking
the functionalities in a depth-wise.
Eg: if u buy a mobile, we will check the major
functionalities like receiving calls, sending calls,
receiving msgs and sending msgs.This is all nothing but
smoke testing.If you do have problem with incoming or
outgoing calls or msgs, then that mob is unfit to buy. So
it falls in smoke testing.
After we got mobile, when we have time, we used to go
through all mobile applications like alarm, ringtones,
settings, filemanager, entertainment, walkman....This is
also major functionalies but extra features not consider as
smoke.This is all nothing but sanity testing.

hello laxmi,

some persons told smoke testing is done by testers,
is it correct? what is release note? plz give me answer?

Answer / vijay

Sanity Testing is the testing whether the applications is
ready to test or not.

Smoke testing is the testing the main functionality of the
application whether there is no time to test in depth

Answer / laxmi

sanity testing is done when the build comes from dev team
to testing tean and smoke testing is done when the build is
ready to release after adding the release notes and all

but in both the testing we will check whether all mojor
functionalities are working fine or not

Answer / ranjeet kuamr singh

sanity testing is test by the tester and near deployment
environment.errors are identified related to the operation
of the stated functions of AUT(application under test)/SUT
(system or software under test). eg:- working of tool
bar,menu bar in MS word.

smoke testing is development environment. errors are
identified related to the availability of the stated
functionality of AUT/SUT.
eg:- Availability of tool bar status bar in MS word.
