Answer / naresh

smoke test: Testing the application if it is wokring
properlly or not is called smoke test. Here we test for the
stability of the application for further testing.
Eg: The main purpose of yahoo website is to login, check
mails, send mails and logout. Wen a build is released for
that, we first check for its basic functionality. here, it
is logging in, checking and sending mails and logging out.

sanity test: Testing the application if everything is there
in applicatioin or not is called sanity testing.
Eg: For the same above example, sanity testing is to check
whether login fields, all buttons, background colors etc
are there as per the requirements or not.

Plz correct me if i am wrong...

Answer / sireesha

Smoke Testing : Testing the build for its basic
functionality is called smoke testing. We perform this
testing for knowing the stability of the released build
once we find it stable then deeper functionality can be
performed.

Sanity Testing : It's a Narrow Regression Testing its
mainly performed on one or few selected areas where
modification is done to check whether the previous bugs
have been fixed or not.

Answer / suma reddy

smoke test: Testing the application before the build has
given to the testing whether the appliocation is working
properly or not at development side

Sanity test: Testing the application once after build is
recieved from development team for further tests at testing
environment wheteher the bulid is stable or not and its
basic features r working properly

Answer / purni

I agree with Naresh he has given a write answer. Suma redddy
you are wrong. How can we test the application before the build.
Once we get the build first thing we have to do is smoke
testing to check the stability of the application.
Sanity testing is nothing but checking the application for
all the requirement that are mentioned in the document are
there.

Answer / abhishek pradhan

I believe Sireesha is absolutely correct for Smoke and Sanity testing definition. Whereas Naresh has given the best possible example only if the examples are interchanged, i.e. the smoke testing example should have been what is given for sanity testing and vice versa.

Please let me know if some one has a different view?
