What is difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?
In simplest manner...

Answer Posted / pradip

Sanity Testing - Testing the build is in the sane
(position) of testing or not.
Sanity testing is carried out by Test Lear or Tester before
starting actual detailed testing of the new build. In other
words we can say that deciding whether to accept the build
for testing or not.

Smoke Testing - Testing of application without following
any pattern. Smoke testing is generally done by Project
Lead / Project Manager or Client - just to check whether
all major features are working properly or not.

Note : Sanity Testing and Smoke Testing are totally
different terms and are not same.
