Yes, Sometimes Smoke testing is also called as Sanity Testing.
Sanity testing is ,testing only the basic and critical features before getting into main testing, Whereas Regression testing is done to ensure that any changes made doesnt affect other areas.

Can someone please tell me what does "Modified date - not used" field for the test cases indicate ? Need it urgently.. Thanks in advance!!

Hi;
can anyone tell me, what is the difference between sanity and functional testing?

Hi Ravinder,

Functional testing verifies that each function of the software application operates in conformance with the requirement specification. This testing mainly involves black box testing and it is not concerned about the source code of the application. Whereas Sanity Testing, is to verify whether requirements are met or not, checking all features breadth-first and to prove the application is functioning according to specifications.

Thanks,
Suji

Hi suji

Thanks for giving information about functional testing and sanity testing

Hi all,
Plz solve out my question , is that
we have a login page in which username,password,OK, and cancel button are present.
suppose there is a bug in cancel button so in retesting we check that bug is fix then we do the regression testing so my question is that we do the regression on page or only on failed testcase and related test cases . and if we do regression on page then what's the difference between functional and regression testing.becoz we check the functionality on both testing.
