difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?

Answer Posted / dinesh

Smoke testing :
-------------

This ensures that the new build is working fine or not..if
its success then the build will be accepted otherwise it
would be rejected...In simple we can say sanity testing is
to ensure the Build.

Sanity Testing :
---------------

This is for starting the Testing process on a
application..This testing is populary known as environment
shakedown.It touches the End to End funcitonalities of the
application to be tested.If it fails the test execution
cant be performed otherwise we can go ahead with the test
execution..In simple we can say smoke testing is to give
the signal to start the test execution on a particular
application...

(Update me if i'm wrong...)

Dinesh.
