diff between smoke testing and sanity testing

Answer Posted / samsirsameer

Smoke Testing:
Also called as BVT 'Build Verification Testing'
Done every time a new build is received to verify whether
the basic functionlaity is working fine or not.
Example, page navigations, all tabs, entities creation,
updations, deletions.
Usually done by Automation engineers whenever a new build
is recieved.

Sanity Testing: Testing major functionalities of the system
to ensure whether we can proceed further testing with the
build.
Example: We encountered a showstopper bug (blocking major
part of the application under test) and it was fixed and
given to QA. The QA will do a sanity test around that fix.


Thanks, SamsirSameer
