what is the Exact difference between Sanity and Smoke testings

Answer Posted / shiva

Both are tested by testers.
When build is at the initial phase of STLC, say build No 1, then smoke testing is conducted to ensure build is suitable for further testing, where major functionality, critical areas, show stopper TC's are tested.
When build is at the middle or final phase of STLC, say build No 20-100+, then sanity testing is conducted to ensure reported defects in the previous cycle is fixed and tester can go run for regression kind of testing.
