Question

Difference Between Smoke And Sanity Testing?

Answer 1

Most of the times we get confused between the meaning of Sanity Testing and Smoke Testing. First of all, these two testings are way “different” and performed during different stages of a testing cycle.

S. No.	Smoke Testing	Sanity Testing
1	Smoke testing means to verify (basic) that the implementations done in a build are working fine.	Sanity testing means to verify the newly added functionalities, bugs etc. are working fine.
2	This is the first testing on the initial build.	Done when the build is relatively stable.
3	Done on every build.	Done on stable builds post regression.
