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

Answer Posted / anand

Hi

Smoke Testing - Once new build is submitted to testers for
testing, testers usually perform smoke test on new build in
order to verify if build is acceptable for further testing.
In smoke testing, you are not bothered about functionality
but things like none of the links are broken, no page is
displaying Error-404 (web based application) and
application is in stable state.

Sanity Testing - Once Testing team is done with their all
levels of testing and ready to submit the application for
production, testers usually perform sanity tests before
submitting application to production. In sanity testing you
perform full testing to ensure that nothing has been left
out. Sanity check is done taking into consideration all
functional, integration and regression test cases.
