Answer / shalini sr software engineer

Hey please dnt give wrong answers ...

whenever a build is released first of all we do smoke
testing to check whether the build is ready to take further
testing.its just to check the major funtionality ..

Sanity testing is in depth testing which cover all the
major and minor functionality of a project..

for e.g let to check module A , B , C is called smoke
testing than in depth testing of these modules like in <A>
a1,a2,a3.. than in function <B> b1,b2,b3 ,i mean in depth
testing of major functionality,is called sanity testing..

in sanity we dnt need to execute test cases..

Answer / sai ogirala.

Smoke Testing: in which one can perform initial an short
span testing conducted on the application to check if all
the required windows/features/objects are basically
available in order to carry on the detailed testing on
it.So the smoke testing is referred as availability testing.

Sanity Testing: it is also same as Smoke testing, but it
checks for proper availability.

Answer / abdul.sameer

There is not much difference between smoke and sanity testing.

The functionality testing we do for both is the same. The
type of testing we do is same but the only difference is the
team who does it.

Smoke testing: it is also called as Build Verification Test.
The developer's team after finishing there coding part they
go through the entire application which they complete (
which we call is a build) to check whether it is working
properly according to there requirement. Here each and every
developers check there own functionality and once they feel
it is good then they give a statement to tester team that
build is ready to test.

Sanity Testing:- It is also called as Tester verification
Test.Now to accept the build which developers are given
tester too check for the minimal functionality working
conditions. They check the minimal functioanlity and check
whether it is suitable for the testing team to conduct
testing or not.

In one way tester check whether the build is in
testable condition or not.

THe way the functionalit testing goes is exactly the same in
both smoke and sanity testing. the only different is
developers conduct they test called as smoke testing before
they hand over the build to testers and testers check the
functionality of the build to check whether it is suitable
to accept for further major testing before accepting the
build of testing.

I hope this might help you.

Answer / k.chandra sekhar

a) In smoke and sanity 1st conducting the sanity
testing.
b) Sanity testing is nothing but whether the
development team release build is a, is table for complete
testing or not test is called the sanity testing.
c) That is the build start to end is possible, no
middle brakes, if some navigation after the build and with
system hang or not this types of tests
d) This sanity testing also is called the Tester
acceptation testing (TAT) or build verification test (BVT)
e) This test is monitory test also
f) Now smoke testing is nothing but it is a small
change a in a sanity testing process.
g) That is in above (in sanity testing) what test are
conducting now the tester if any problem arise then in
tests, then reject build with reasons, build is not working
it is called the smoke testing.
h) Smoke testing is also known as the optional testing
also.
i) Actual it the both process but now the MNC
companies are follow the when the problem arise, (remember
it not test execution it is only 1st build verification
test only) then stop the test on the build the intimate the
developments team.
j) So all are doing smoke testing only that here
verify and intimate also.

Answer / rajendra prasad reddy

AS their name indicates
Smoke Test means: Build Verification Test(BVT)
checking the Build is stable or not.
Sanity Testing: Tester Acceptence Test(TAT)
Checking the given Build is testable or not
That means checking all features are
working and accesssible or not.
But one thing In most of the testing companies even in Some
Big MNCS the above two are considered as same.

Answer / arjun reddy.n

After getting the build, first we will be doing sanity
testing to conform whether the given application is able to
carry for further testing.

Smoke testing is that after completing the whole testing of
the build, we will be checking the build is stable or not.
