what is smoke testing?..

Answer / pavan

As pointed out by Sindhuja....
Smoke testing is a quick check of the system whether it is
testable or not. This is generally done whenever new build
of applications come up. This also include checking whether
the application is crashing or not, any database related
errors, environment related.

Sanity testing, on the other hand, means testing only the
major functionality

Either of these testing can be done before accepting the
build for complete testing. But smoke testing is more
preferable...

determine if there were any leaks .It is Scripted.Main
function of application is tested in this type. It is also
called as build varification test.
