Software Testing Tutorial #26 - Smoke Testing Vs Sanity Testing

[@manoj_mafiosi]

**Notes: Smoke Testing Vs. Sanity Testing - Software Testing Tutorial #26** **Understanding Software Builds:** - A software build is a package comprising code, configuration settings, and more. - It's the result of development work, bundling together code written in programming languages. **Smoke Testing: A Shallow Approach:** - Smoke Testing occurs in the initial phases of a software build. - It verifies if essential functionalities are working. - It's conducted when the build is relatively unstable to ensure critical functions like login and checkout are functioning. - Developers and the testing team can perform Smoke Testing. - The term "smoke" is derived from hardware testing practices involving smoke as a signal of failure. **Sanity Testing: Ensuring Stability:** - Sanity Testing is conducted when builds have become stable. - It validates specific functionalities affected by recent defect fixes or changes. - It acts as a checkpoint before extensive regression testing, ensuring the module with new code is functioning correctly. - It helps save time by avoiding extensive regression testing until stability is confirmed. **In Summary:** - **Smoke Testing**: Performed on unstable builds to check fundamental functionalities' functionality before detailed testing. Ensures build stability. - **Sanity Testing**: Conducted on stable builds, focusing on specific modules affected by recent changes. Acts as a checkpoint to confirm build stability before regression testing. Both Smoke Testing and Sanity Testing are crucial quality assurance steps in software testing. They ensure build stability and efficient use of testing resources.

I have gone through several videos and websites but still was confused. But now, I dont need to search anymore. Your explanation was very clear. Thankyou so much.

[@nasiru25]

You're the best software testing teacher I ever watched

[@MichaelaMShaw]

I am currently doing a college course on coding practises and management. Your videos are by far the best and most clear I've come across and have been very helpful in helping me understand all the different concepts. Thank you so much for doing these videos.

[@hasanozdemir1067]

This was one of the best informative video about Smoke and Sanity testing. It was super clear to understand the concepts. Thank u so much!

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Most welcome!😊 Keep watching for more videos.

[@danilaperezdiaz3907]

You're an amazing tutor, thanks!! I'm loving your videos!! :)

[@arn0v]

very clear explanation sir... but just want to know whether sanity testing and retesting to some extent similar?

[@sumbalkhan4171]

I have the same question. by definition both sanity and retest look the same. could someone please make it clear? thanks

[@brunacastro6094]

In summary, the main similarity between sanity testing and retesting is that they both involve testing specific areas of an application rather than the entire application. However, their primary purposes and the timing of their execution differ. Sanity testing is a quick check to ensure the overall stability of the application, while retesting is focused on confirming the resolution of specific defects. Both types of testing are essential components of a comprehensive software testing strategy, helping ensure the quality and reliability of the software product - according to chatgpt

Sir ,,,Thanks much For informative videos ..This is actually helping us to understand the concept ...Sir in this video while watching i got confused for retest and sanity test can u explain in simple words sir ...both are subsets of regression but what is the difference

[@muhammadowais1990]

You make the best videos sir!

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thanks. Keep watching for more videos!

[@kshitijarajmane0818]

Thank you for this videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@softwaretestingmentor]

My pleasure!

[@sebnembayezit969]

Thanks a lot, and your all videos are understandable.

[@narisap.1038]

Thank you so much

[@badinenigangadhar459]

Really your videos are nice and simple explanation anyone can understand 🙏🙏🙏

[@shalinimitra205]

But testing after fixing a bug is called re-testing or confirmation testing right? But sanity testing?

[@pragyamishra9860]

thank you sir

[@esraashokry8866]

Thank u....very clear explanation

[@channaveerhakari7319]

For example: after build 5 when we run only the login module to check if the module is working as expected or not, then its similar to ReTest. Can you please tell what is the difference between ReTest & Sanity Testing

[@theentertainer8062]

Can I say that we do smoke testing once in the whole project, in the initial stages?

[@ratnamgera9854]

thank you sir you provided easy understanding concept

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thanks and welcome

[@amitmal7596]

whats the difference between build and version? pls

[@mohammedhamzausman8983]

Pls what's the difference between sanity testing and Retesting

[@Harsh_singh95]

Nice explanation

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thanks! Keep watching for more videos.

[@Harsh_singh95]

Sir where u from

[@rijuroy7415]

Good one. Thanks

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thanks and You're welcome

[@gurramlakshmanudu9815]

Can you tell about selenium

[@TG-ri3mu]

Thank you, thank you, enormously usefull!

[@humblewolf69]

Excellent video! Thank you!!!

[@jijinini4863]

Very helpful Thank you so much sir

[@vijnavijayan6209]

Thanks 👍🙏

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Welcome 👍 Thank you very much. Keep watching and sharing.

[@prashantpatil-ct7tc]

Helpful ❤️

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Glad you think so! Keep watching for more videos.

[@srigah]

Does smoke test comes in white box testing

[@VikasKM]

Thank you 🙏 very much for the detailed and great explanation

[@gurramlakshmanudu9815]

Good video sir

[@guillerminatorres118]

So… we could say that the difference between Sanity testing and regression testing is that the Sanity testing is done over a module or specific functionality and the regression is an overall test of the software?

[@una-norabess8427]

Thank you so much sir

[@ZapZarap]

Nice 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Thank you 👍

[@elnino61]

thanks a lot.

[@ramyask5033]

Hello sir!! is sanity testing is similar to retest??

[@1986karthik]

its similar to regression

[@nikitaparab9255]

Very nice explanation.... Thank you sir !!

[@Professor.Aliakbar.Jalali]

Softer testing #2

[@Kushi-v]

Tq sir

[@softwaretestingmentor]

Most welcome. Keep watching for more videos!

[@gsr1297]

hi sir, if there is no defect in smoke testing , then no need of performing sanity testing sir. i am a fresher

[@quransunnahacademy1591]

zabardast :)

[@ahembd1]

Superior!

[@softwaretestingmentor]

You are welcome😊 Keep watching for more videos and tutorials.

[@anilkashyap5953]

Suppose I give you 2000 test cases and you want to execute these test cases within two days, and only you can execute these test cases. How will you do that? This Questions Was asked during an Interview?

[@abhishekraj-gl3kf]

If all the test cases are of similar types we can do automation testing for that.

[@kumudgoel6520]

too much unnecessry infirmation again i have to serach for good video
