In this tutorial we are going to learn about the smoke Testing Vs Sanity Testing with examples.
What is Smoke Testing?
SMOKE TESTING is a type of software testing that determines whether the deployed build is stable or not. The purpose of Smoke Tests it to confirm whether the QA team can proceed with further testing. Smoke tests are a minimal set of tests run on each build.
Smoke testing is a process where the software build is deployed to QA environment and is verified to ensure the stability of the application. It is also called as "Build verification Testing" or “Confidence Testing.”
In simple terms, we are verifying whether the important features are working and there are no showstoppers in the build that is under testing.
What is Sanity Testing?
Sanity testing is a kind of Software Testing performed after receiving a software build, with minor changes in code, or functionality, to ascertain that the bugs have been fixed and no further issues are introduced due to these changes. The goal is to determine that the proposed functionality works roughly as expected. If sanity test fails, the build is rejected to save the time and costs involved in a more rigorous testing.
The objective is "not" to verify thoroughly the new functionality but to determine that the developer has applied some rationality (sanity) while producing the software. For instance, if your scientific calculator gives the result of 2 + 2 =5! Then, there is no point testing the advanced functionalities like sin 30 + cos 50.

These are very clear examples of when to use smoke testing and sanity testing. People always tend to use these terms interchangeably or run both smoke and sanity tests every time although there should be a clear condition when we should stop allocating resources and time to the smoke test so we can focus on what's next.

Hi Pramod, I think smoke testing comes under acceptance testing because here we are making sure that whether S/W or application is applicable for further testing or not and sanity testing is subset of regression testing because it comes later once application is sane or stable.

In Internet many people talk about this and they are saying they will clear the doubts about smoke vs sanity. Atlast both looks like same. No one is giving proper difference with good example. In History, Some dumb people used terms smoke and some people used sanity. Because of these two terms everyone is getting confusion. its better no one should ask this question in Interview. Both sounds same. somewhere they would say smoke is scripted and somewhere they would say smoke is done at the early stage. I suggest you just forget this topic and concentrate on other topics. Till today no one has given proper explanation with good example. All are reading some article in internet and they are explaining same in different style. could anyone of you explain diff bn smoke and sanity with real time examples? while answering please use simple English and Do not use words like rigorous, general health check up, scripted, sanity is subset of regression which leads to lot of confusion. Explain each difference with example.

Sir you told smoke testing is used to check whether software is fit for testing or not but y we need to check the trasnsction and gui ? These all internal functionality isn't it sir ?
