Question: Wht is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing
Answer: Smoke Testing: Smoke testing is non-exhaustive software testing, ascertaining that the most crucial functions of a program work, but does not bother with finer details.
Sanity Testing: Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioning according to specifications. This level of testing is a subset of regression testing. It normally includes a set of core tests of basic GUI functionality to demonstrate connectivity to the database, application servers, printers, etc.
