what is difference between smoke & sanity testing?

Answer Posted / bala

smoke testing is the set of test cases which we execute
whenever we are getting a new build , smoke test is used to
verify that a build is testable on the basis of the test
execution status of the smoke test cases.we can reject the
build . there is no need to further test if the execution
is unsatisfactory smoke test saves time in testing
cycle.These test cases include the basic test cases which
include installation and basic functionality.
Sanity test cases is the test of major and critical
fundtionality test cases like navigation authentications .
Sanity testing is a one time job for application .
smoke testing is performed everytime we get a new build of
the same application.
