diff b/w smoke and sanity testing and what is migration plan in testing?..

Answer / mudaseer

Smoke testing is a wide approach where all areas of the software application are tested without getting into too deep. However, a sanity software testing is a narrow regression testing with a focus on one or a small set of areas of functionality of the software application.
The test cases for smoke testing of the software can be either manual or automated. However, a sanity test is generally without test scripts or test cases.
Smoke testing is done to ensure whether the main functions of the software application are working or not. During smoke testing of the software, we do not go into finer details. However, sanity testing is a cursory software testing type. It is done whenever a quick round of software testing can prove that the software application is functioning according to business / functional requirements.
Smoke testing of the software application is done to check whether the build can be accepted for through software testing. Sanity testing of the software is to ensure whether the requirements are met or not.
in a company 3 test engineers(x,y and z) are appointed to test 3 modules.if 1 of them quits then risk is involved.so there is a mitigation plan.x's primary module to be tested is module 1 but he should know the basics of module 2.similarly every test engineer should have the knowledge of other module.if a test engineer quits then a new test engineer is appointed and he can be taught about the module
