Answer / suresh
sorry,will have to differ a little here.
Smoke testing is a broad level testingin which all major
functionalities are covered and it is made sure that the
product is ready to be tested.
Sanity testing is a kind of focussed regression testing.. It
is done to make sure that a particular functionality that
had errors before is ready for test.

Sanity Testing:- nothing but testing the functionalities .
Smoke Testing:- nothing but is the software is eligible to
test also called as Testor Accepetable Test or Eligibility
Test

Answer / sridhar
Hi
In fuctionailitywise no difference between Smoke and Sanity
Testing.
Smoke testing conducted on new build came for
testing.purpose is to test stability and future testing
Sanity testing conducted on Modified build(After fix the
bugs).

Answer / samiran bose
Smoke Testing:-
1. Area of smoke testing is so big.
2. Smoke testing is not a formal testing.
3. Before the build is released Smoke testing is done by
developers or by testers before accepting a build for
further testing.
Sanity testing:-
1. Particular functionality is tested in Sanity testing.
2. sanity testing is formal testing.
3. At the beginning and ending of each phase of Software
Development Life Cycle sanity testing is performed.
Usually tester and Developer perform Sanity testing.

Answer / anmol
In software development, the sanity test determines whether
it is reasonable to proceed with further testing. Software
sanity tests are commonly conflated with smoke tests. A
smoke test determines whether it is possible to continue
testing, as opposed to whether it is reasonable. A software
smoke test determines whether the program launches and
whether its interfaces are accessible and responsible (for
example, the responsiveness of a web page or an input
button). If the smoke test fails, it is impossible to
conduct a sanity test. In contrast, the ideal sanity test
exercises the smallest subset of application functions
needed to determine whether the application logic is
generally functional and correct (for example, an interest
rate calculation for a financial application). If the
sanity test fails, it is not reasonable to attempt more
rigorous testing. Both sanity tests and smoke tests are
ways to avoid wasting time and effort by quickly
determining whether an application is too flawed to merit
any rigorous testing

Sanity Testing : When we will get that New build Major
Business Functionalities are focused
Somke Testing : To ensure that application is eligible for
further testing

Answer / ashfaq ali khan
Smoke Testing:
To ensure that all major functionalities of the application
are working fine. This has to be done prior to Production
rollout.
Sanity Testing :
To ensure that all major functionalities of the application
are working fine. This has to be done prior to Dev to QA
handoff.
Both are meant for the same purpose to ensure the major
functionalities of the application are working fine but
only difference is when to do.

Answer / srikanth
smoke test:
To test the basic functionality or key features of the
application is called smoke testing.
It is also called as build verification test:To test whether
the build is acceptable for further testing or not.
It is done by testers.
Sanity testing:
Unit testing of basic key features done developers.

Answer / indrajeet
Sanity Testing:- nothing but testing the functionalities .
Smoke Testing:- Smoke testing is done to ensure that there
is no showstopper in the built and the system is ready for
testing
