what is difference between smoke & sanity testing?

Answer Posted / sripathi venkata ramesh

I am Sripathi Venkata Ramesh working as a software Test
engineer. For this question difference between sanity and
smoke - different people have given different
answers......I confused so many times.............
So the correct answer is here...

SMOKE Testing is also called as build verification test. It
means that it is at the build level , for every build there
will be a deployment - so after deploying the code - To
Test the basic functionality of that build is called Smoke
Testing

SANITY Testing means It is at the System level , It means
that after completing the builds level of testing - we
normally go for system testing . so at that time of system
testing - we do this sanity to test the basic functionality
of that system as a whole is called system testing

In simple differentiation words we can say as

Smoke means This is at the build level

Sanity Means This is at the system level

Both Testing are used to test the basic
functionality........

Please correct me if am wrong - any body - NO Issues.....

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 2 No
