sanity testign is also called as Build verification testing. Every Build release from developer should be followed by sanity testing. - In sanity testing we install the application, launch the application and navigate through the application. - Sanity test is implemented to make sure the application is ready for complete testing. Every Build release to the client should be preceded by smoke testing. - smoke testing is implemented to make sure the application given to the client on the final release media is working fine, - smoke testing will be a quick test phase to test installation, launching and basic functionality navigation. - smoke testing is carried out using the check lists. -smoke testing is carried out before every release to the client.
