There is always a great confusion between smoke and sanity
testing. Hope i can give u better clarity.
Basically smoke test is derived from electrcal comapny
where they use to check whether the component or equipment
catches smoke once if the turn on or plug in that componet
with power supply. if it doesnt catches smoke or fire it is
taken to next level of sanity testing where basic
functionalites are tested.
Similarly, in Softwares, smoke can be better reffered to
installation and application launching testing as smoke
test.(i.e chacking whether the application exe can be
successfully installed in all the given environments
without crashing and then after successfull installation
the user is able to launch/open the application.)
And sanity testing is dont to ensure whether all the
basic and mojor functionalities are working fine.
