what is difference between Sanity testing and Smoke testing?

Answer Posted / deepa

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, a 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.



Generally, when multiple cycles of testing are executed,
sanity testing may be done during the later cycles after
through regression cycles.
