When the basic level of code is about to be passed on to the testing team, we often perform smoke or sanity tests to determine if the new software is stable enough to be tested. My experience with software testing is that they often crash before exposing them to a major testing plan ending up in delays and added ‘develop-test’ cycles. Through smoke test scenarios and plans qa tester help the development teams to check for any major crashes before passing the application to the testing team, resulting in cost and time savings.

Sanity testing is the initial level of testing. when build will ready its goes to Test Engineers. Basically testing carried out to check the major functionality of the software without concern for finer details this testing is also refered to as "Quick & Dirty Testing " & Level 1 Testing.

I hope now u have got the little idea About Sanity or Smoke Testing.

Both programmer and tester did smoke testing.Sanity testing is done by tester.

Programmer at the time of debugging and tester at the time of receiving new build.

Hi,
Sanity / Smoke testing performed by the Test Engineer only not by the Programmer.

I am not agree with you.Sanity is not done by programmer, but smoke they do.

Smoke/Sanity both are same in perception, it depends on the company whom to perform this testing either developer or tester.Who ever may perform this testing, it is to check whether the application is ready for detailed testing or not

Hi,

both smoke and sanity tests are done by test engineers only...

before starting the system starting, we need to decide that build is stable or not (smoke) partially we will concentrate on the bug fixes....
if we reject the build we need to give the proper reasons to developers to reject the build(Sanity Test) which includes negative cases also
