Test plan : It contains introduction to the client company,scope,overview of the application, test strategy,schedule, roles and responsibilities, deliverables and milestones.

Use Case : It is nothing but user action and system response. It contains the flows typical flow, alternate flow and exceptional flow. Apart from these it also has a pre condition and post condition.

The general definition (related to Hardware) of Smoke Testing is:
Smoke testing is a safe harmless procedure of blowing smoke into parts of the sewer and drain lines to detect sources of unwanted leaks   and sources of sewer odors.

It it is related to s/w, the definition is
Smoke testing is non-exhaustive software testing, ascertaining that the most crucial functions of a program work, but not bothering with finer details.

Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioning according to specifications. This level of testing is a subset of regression testing. It normally includes a set of core tests of basic GUI functionality to demonstrate connectivity to the database, application servers, printers, etc.

hi.

sanity testing - is basically to check whether the application is having any negative impact on the existing hardware and software.

smoke testing- is basically to check whether the main functionality  of the application is working properly or not.

at the very first we just check these two aspects. if an application fails then we dont do further testing.

Test Plan: A document describing the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended testing activities. It identifies test items, the features to be tested, the testing tasks, who will do each task, and any risks requiring contingency planning. Ref IEEE Std 829.

 Use Case: The specification of tests that are conducted from the end-user perspective. Use cases tend to focus on operating software as an end-user would conduct their day-to-day activities

Sanity Testing: Its an indepth testing of an application. Tests every feature throughly. Done after Smoke testing.


Smoke Testing: This type of testing is done when the build arrives for testing. Tests the major functionalites of an application that are most frequently used.

Use Case : It is a function that captures the Business Logic at a component, screen or Sub-module level. It describes the functions, how the application will perform.

Test plan : is the document which provides overall directions to all the testing activities.

Test Plan is a document, which says how testing can be carried out, by specifying scope, schedules, resources, deliverables, due dates, etc...

Use case consists of user actions and in response application response for a particular functionality or business process
