Smoke testing and sanity testing play a unique and insightful role in the software testing domain. Both these testing methods have specific priorities and objectives in the software development process. Smoke and sanity testing ensures that specific requirements in the software development stage are met. A comparable software build can be used by smoke and sanity testing in order to test strategically. Proper verification process of the software build can be carried out effectively and productively, due to which testing and development teams can work on their specific testing activities in a more planned and productive manner.  In this article, you will get to know about the differences between smoke testing and sanity testing. What is smoke testing?   It is a testing method that determines the stability of a deployed software build. QA team gets the necessary confirmation through the smoke testing process to know whether to proceed further with testing activities or not. O...

Sanity testing and smoke testing have their own strategic value in the software development process. Though both these testing types are being confused at some point or the other, but, if a thorough study is done for both these testing types from a practical standpoint, then the testing team can truly leverage these two valuable testing methods. Both these testing types have their specific testing objectives and priorities that need to be met. In this article, you will get a brief idea about sanity and smoke testing and also the differences between both of them. What is sanity testing? When the software build is received, sanity testing is performed in order to ensure that the code changes that have been done are working as expected. This testing method evaluates whether the testing for a specified build can be done or not. The functionality of the application is validated. It decides whether a specific software product should go through end-to-end testing or not. A build is tested whe...
