what is the difference between sanity and smoke testing?

Answer Posted / keerti(aditi)

Sanity test:
It determines whether it is reasonable to continue testing.

A sanity test is usually unscripted.

A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the
application is still working after a minor change.



smoke test:
Smoke test determines whether it is possible to continue
testing.If this fails its impossible to undergo or have
sanity testing.

A smoke test is scripted, either using a written set of
tests or an automated test.

A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the
application in a cursory way. It’s shallow and wide.
