smoke means,checking whether all functionalities present in
application or not.it is done by developer.Before going to
give the build to testers,developers will do this.
where as sanity means checking whether all main
functionalities are working fine or not.it is done by
testers.
we won't write test cases for smoke testing.

Answer / neha
Smoke testing is non-exhaustive software testing,
ascertaining that the most crucial functions of a program
work, but not bothering with finer details.
Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed
whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the
application is functioning according to specifications.
This level of testing is a subset of regression testing. It
normally includes a set of core tests of basic GUI
functionality to demonstrate connectivity to the database,
application servers, printers, etc.
