What is difference between Smoke testing and Sanity Testing?



Smoke testing and Sanity testing is same as per all standards.
 But in industry specific term, it is is quite different. testing takes place in both manner first basic functional testing, basic functional testing with all positive aspects. smoke is execute all functional test scenario required priority base positive test cases. but in sanity tester put all positive test case with basic testing as well as few negative test cases if required. hence we just put little more efforts in sanity testing according industry aspects.

How ever Sanity is like regression testing but it does not cover all parts of application which may leads to existence of few defects. On the other hand Sanity is quickest way to find all critical bugs which can be cause of failure of any application.

Back Ground:

Smoke testing has been introduce in pipe industries for testing pipe leakage, Sanity is used in weather calculation. both are actually used to produce quick result.
