what is difference between Sanity testing and Smoke testing?

Answer Posted / varshab

Smoke testing is basically perform to asure software is
stable enough to consider it for further testing.It is
shallow & wide as we navigate through all options of
application without going into much deep.In this we are
more concern about major functions without much bothering
about minor ones.e.g.It is more useful in configuration
(hardware) testing.

Sanity testing is cursory testing.When new build is
released from development team with minor changes, in this
case instead of performing through regression testing
sanity testing is more appropriate to ascertain indeed
rectifications are done.It is narrow & deep.It is subset of
regression testing.
