smoke testing: It is performed by developers before
releasing the application to testing team.In this they
verify basic functionality of an application
sanity testing: After receiving the application test
engineer VALIDATES basic functionality of an application
with help of checked list to estimate stability.
Ex: For login screen
Smoke testing is only test whether the user is able to
login or not .
And Sanity testing is to test text field lenght,datatype of
text,which page it takes

Answer / smita
Smoke testing is done to ensure that build is stable and
key features r working porperly without going in depth.
Sanity testing is subset of regression testing and it is in
testing the build in depth.
e.g For login screen
Smoke testing is only test whether user is able to login
and Sanity testing is to test text field lenght,datatype of
text,which page it takes.

Answer / prasanna_ny
Sanity testing:Sanity testing is testing the application to
ensure, if it is stable enough to continue further
testing.If the test fails ,we cannot continue testing
further.Sanity testing is the initial test after the build
release.It is done by the QA team.
Smoke testing:This is done by the developers , to ensure
that the build is ready for release to the testing team.
