SANITY TESTING VS. SMOKE TESTING INTRODUCTION AND DIFFERENCES 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.
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. On each build, a minimal set of tests are run so that software functionalities can be tested. This testing method provides a platform to confirm that the product can be further tested.
WHAT IS SANITY TESTING? When the software build is received, sanity testing is performed in order to make sure that the code changes that have been introduced are working as expected. It acts as a checkpoint to ascertain whether the build can be further tested or not. The functionality of the application is validated through this testing process. Sanity testing is specifically performed on that build, where there is an immediate requirement for production deployment like a crucial bug fix.
