Answer / deepa rakesh
sanity testing is an Initial effort to check whether the
application can be tested further without any interruption.
Basic gui functionality connectivity to database are
concentrated here.
Smoke Testing covers most crucial functions of the
application testing carried out check whether most crucial
functions of the application work fine or not? dont bother
about the in-depth coverage of each testset.
Shakeout test : To identify an initial, simple end to end
test which verifies that a load has been successful and all
software is accessible and functioning as expected and to
document this test so that the same test may be run at each
new build, installation or upgrade.

Smoke Testing:-Its a shallow and wide approach where by all
areas of the application without getting into deep,is
tested.
A smoke test is scripted, either using a written set of
test or an automated test.
Its a normal health check up to a build of an application
before taking it to testing depth.
Sanity Testing:-Its a narrow regression test that focus on
one or a few areas of functionality,its usually narrow and
deep.
Its usually unscripted,its used to determine a smallsection
of the apllication is still working after a minor cahnge.

Answer / lakshmi
Smoke Testing: Testing all functionalities at higher level i.e. not in depth,to verify build is stable or not.
Sanity Testing:Testing all functionalities in depth.
Shakeout Testing:To identify an initial, simple end to end test which verifies that a load has been successful and all software is accessible and functioning as expected and to document this test so that the same test may be run at each new build, installation or upgrade.

Answer / madhu
sanity : whether testing can go further level or not. for
example your CSS mainframe version8.0, you used to create
the test data for test case execution.while test case
execution CSS team have changed their version to 9.0. by
use of this new version we have to check whether can we
creat test data as like earlier.this is sanity.
Smoke : today we have one set of code.very next day you
would intimate by developers said that made some changes on
the existing code.we have to check the changed code is
properly done or notwith our test environment. this is
smoke.
But dnt have idea about shakeout.

Answer / mohammedblr
Sanity Testing:
when the New Build is Released for the testing to the
testing team,initial Build Stability and Basic functionality
testing of the application is called the Sanity Testing.
Smoke Testing:
All the Test Cycles are completed with the Test Cases and
still has the time for testing then without the test cases
testing the application exhaustively is called Smoke Testing.
