what is difference between smoke & sanity testing?

Answer Posted / dev

Smoke Testing
-------------
Smoke testing is the Testing exercise to verify that the
build can be taken up for further testing. Smoke testing
should cover the basic functionality of the
Product/Application [Black Box] under test.Smoke testing
should be mandatory whenever there is a new hands-off or
interim release. Again the GA candidate should also pass
Smoke Testing too.


Sanity Testing
--------------
Sanity testing is Testing exercise to verify each
functionality as a stand-alone component. Sanity test should
cover all the up stream and downstream dependencies of the
component. Sanity testing is mandatory before and after GA
or CR.
