what is the diff between smoke testing & monkey testing?

Answer Posted / sidhartha

Monkey Testing: Testing a system or an Application on the
fly, i.e. just few tests here and there to ensure the
system or an application does not crash out.

Smoke Testing: Typically an initial testing effort to
determine if a new software version is performing well
enough to accept it for a major testing effort. For
example, if the new software is crashing systems every 5
minutes, bogging down systems to a crawl, or corrupting
databases, the software may not be in a 'sane' enough
condition to warrant further testing in its current state.
