Smoke And Sanity

testing the basic functionality of the application to proceed for further testing process is smoke testing. sanity testing is performing testing on one or few areas of application where modifications have been done is sanity testing and this type of testing will be helpful for future regression testing. soak/ endurance testing : soaking a particular application under load for a prolonged peroid of time is called soak or endurence testing. this is mainly done on web apps. eg: let us consider that a particular site is being used for 10 times a day during weekdays and 500 times during weekends , so here we perform soak testing to test the stability of the app whether it sustains the number of users for prolonged hours of working. i think u doubt is done if still any plz post it . malli 1/29/2007 4:48 am hi there are two type of test types, smoke and sanity. what they are exactly? here we go..... 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. showing 1-3 of 3
