Smoke is scripted means the set of instructions or test cases to perform this testing will be written before take action.
Sanity is unscripted means the set of instructions or test cases to perform this testing will not be written

Dear All,

There was one more term Coined in Software Testing industry “Smart Regression”

Regression Testing: Regression testing means rerunning entire set of applicable test cases from existing test suites to ensure that software changes have no unintended error seeding and ensure the 100% stability of the software. Mostly this technique used for automotive testing

Smart Regression Testing
==================
Smart Regression means testing particular test cases which selected based on the bug fixes impact analysis, after discussion with relevant development team. To support this type of testing sanity check is mandatory to ensure overall is perfect / not effected.

Which will be very useful in practical situation where time matter more.

hi guys,
The simplest way to do smoke and sanity check on human being. Just think the requirement tell that human should run and perform some action using hand.Then the smoke check will be just check his legs by moving that it works fine, same way for hand . So by this we can make sure that if he have working hand and leg, then he can perform the task of running and some task using hand .Then he can be sent for sanity check , which involves him to to run, do work etc.
If at starting itself we found that he does not have leg, then need not for sanity check.

hope this makes much clear.

Hi Ilyas,

i’ll recommand that u get some certification from australia instead of getting from India….may be in australia it’s costy and that certification will have worth in india…

there are lot of testing certification but i recommand that u get certification in QTP (Quick Testing Professional) and some Mercury testing tool available.

On one hand you say sanity is deep. Then you say it is cursory.

In reply to Ajay. unit testing is generally performed by the developers. in this, they isolate each section of the code and check its correctness whether it is working fine or not. smoke testing is performed by the testers. in this, we generally check the critical functions of the software,whether they are working fine or not. for eg, check the login functionality, verify the app launches successfully, check the gui is responsive or not.

Those who all are having difficulty in the understanding difference between both the testing can read this. Let’s take an example of a mobile phone.

Smoke : Here, we don’t go much deep and cover major functionalities like on/off, msg, calling, internet, homepage etc..

Sanity: Here, we choose only a few functionalities like setting, contacts etc and do a deep testing.

Another example:
If you visit a doctor for a general health checkup(height, weight, blood pressure, blood test etc), then it is called as smoke testing.
But if you visit a doctor for a particular problem like fever, then it is called as sanity.

The word “priority” is associated with scheduling, and the word “severity” is associated with standards. “Priority” means something is afforded or deserves prior attention; a precedence established by urgency or order of or importance.

Severity is the state or quality of being severe; severe implies adherence to rigorous standards or high principles and often suggests harshness; severe is marked by or requires strict adherence to rigorous standards or high principles. For example, a severe code of behavior.

The words priority and severity do come up in bug tracking. A variety of commercial, problem-tracking / management software tools are available. These tools, with the detailed input of software test engineers, give the team complete information so developers can understand the bug, get an idea of its severity, reproduce it and fix it. The fixes are based on project priorities and severity of bugs. The severity of a problem is defined in accordance to the end client’s risk assessment, and recorded in their selected tracking tool. A buggy software can severely affect schedules, which, in turn can lead to a reassessment and renegotiation of priorities
