What is the difference between Smoke Test & Sanity Test?

Answer Posted / sonal.pagare

Smoke Test:

When a build is received, a smoke test is run to ascertain
if the build is stable and it can be considered for further
testing.
Smoke testing can be done for testing the stability of any
interim build.
Smoke testing can be executed for platform qualification tests.

Sanity testing:

Once a new build is obtained with minor revisions, instead
of doing a through regression, sanity is performed so as to
ascertain the build has indeed rectified the issues and no
further issue has been introduced by the fixes. It’s
generally a subset of regression testing and a group of test
cases are executed that are related with the changes made to
the app.
