Tell exact difference b/w Smoke and Sanity testing with
example?
Answer Posted / ramthiraviyam
Hi Friends ,
some of you guys have mis-conception that Smoke and Sanity
Testing are same .
smoke and sanity testing are perform on different scenario .
SMOKE TESTING
===========
This is the first test done by Tester on the new build .
Testing done on the new build to make sure whether the
build is strong enough to accept the major testing or not.
this is called smoke testing . smoke testing will perform on
the all major functionalities of the application or product
.we can say smoke testing is wide but shallow testing .
Example ::
As you may can see , the application or product may getting
crashed for every particular span of time.
when a application is getting crashed for every 3 minutes ,
tester cant do the major testing .this is why Smoke testing
is to be performed.
Sanity Testing
=========
Sanity Testing is a subset of regression testing. Test the
newly added or updated/enhancement functionalities alone
with the deep attention on it to make sure that those
functionalities are working correct as per the spec. The
sanity testing is performed when time is less and tester
feel that those functionalities wont affect the existing
functionalities as per spec.
Sanity Testing is perform on the particular functionalities
and deep attention.
Example ::
A new functionalities added with the existing which is not
depends on the existing one and also there is insufficient
time to test the whole functionalities as well . So in this
scenario , testing team will decide to do the Sanity Testing .
