What is the difference between Regression testing vs. Smoke
testing?

Answer Posted / jhuma

regression testing :- it is the testing which is conducted to check whether the unchanged functionality have got any side effects due to changed functionality.In brief,when the developer tries to fix any bug,he may not notice on the unchanged functionality which are related to the bug he is fixing.So,in such situation the changed code/functionality may have a great impact on the unchanged code which becomes unnoticed by the developer.

smoke test:-it is the testing which is conducted to test the basic functionality of the build.If smoke test fails,the entire build is rejected.
