What Is Smoke 
Testing
Smoke Testing is a software testing process that determines whether the deployed 
software  build is stable or not. Smoke testing is a confirmation for the QA team to 
proceed with further  software testing. It consists of a minimal set of tests run on each 
build to test software  functionalities. Smoke testing is also known as “Build Verification 
Testing” or “Confidence  Testing.”
In simple terms, smoke tests mean verifying the important features are working and 
there are  no showstoppers in the build that is under testing. It is a mini and rapid 
regression test of  major functionality. It is a simple test that shows the product is ready 
for testing. This helps  determine if the build is flawed to make any further testing a 
waste of time and resources.

Testing?  so feel free to visit & read our blog.
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.

Sanity Testing Vs Smoke 
Testing
01 Smoke Testing
Smoke Testing is performed to ascertain that the critical functionalities of the program is working fine
The objective of this testing is to verify the “stability” of the system in order to proceed with more rigorous 
testing  This testing is performed by the developers or testers
Smoke testing is usually documented or 
scripted  Smoke testing is a subset of 
Acceptance testing
Smoke testing exercises the entire system from 
end to end
02 Sanity 
Testing
Sanity Testing is done to check the new functionality/bugs have been fixed
The objective of the testing is to verify the “rationality” of the system in order 
to  proceed with more rigorous testing
Sanity testing in software testing is usually performed by 
testers  Sanity testing is usually not documented and is 
unscripted  Sanity testing is a subset of Regression Testing
