Smoke Testing vs Sanity Testing

Smoke Testing vs Sanity Testing


Smoke Testing:  It is a kind of general testing where you check the software if all the critical functions are working fine or not.

You don’t get into the detail testing of any module when you are doing the smoke testing.

Sanity Testing: If you make some changes in the code/ Functionality, You always feel a need to test again if the code or the module in which we made any kind of change is still working fine or not
that testing is known as sanity testing.

It is non scripted kind of testing; You don’t document it.

It will check a specific component in which made change, On the other hand smoke is not specific one.

Smoke testing is general check up and  Sanity is specialized check up.

A Daily Life Example:-

Suppose a doctor make general health checkup of a newborn baby that’s a smoke testing He will generally on the Abstract level check everything.

During that testing doctor finds something wrong with his eyes, He will recommend treatments (Code changes) then after that he will send you back to home.

Few days later when the doctor will check you again, After the completion of Treatment. He will focus on eye where He
made treatment that’s the Sanity testing.

How to analyze a JMeter summary report?

  A  Jmeter  Test Plan must have listener to showcase the result of performance test execution. Listeners capture the response coming back from Server while Jmeter runs and showcase in the form of – tree, tables, graphs and log files. It also allows you to save the result in a file for future reference. There are many types of listeners Jmeter provides. Some of them are: Summary Report, Aggregate Report, Aggregate Graph, View Results Tree, View Results in Table etc. Here is the detailed understanding of each parameter in Summary report. By referring to the figure: Label : It is the name/URL for the specific HTTP(s) Request. If you have selected “Include group name in label?” option then the name of the Thread Group is applied as the prefix to each label. Samples : This indicates the number of virtual users per request. Average : It is the average time taken by all the samples to execute specific label. In our case, the average time for Label 1 is 942 milliseconds & to...

What is Error, Bug and Defec ?

What is Error, Bug and Defect in software testing ? Error :- When developer compile a program and program compilation is failed due to some syntax problem or not used correct logic, is called an Error.  For example:-  public class  { public static void main( string []args) { s.o.p(" hello") } } Now after running this program, we will get an error because there is syntax issues as we haven't use correct syntax to print output. Bug : Bug is something that is not producing expected output or something is not behaving as expected.  For example- Developer develop a program to add two number and that program is running fine but producing wrong result. public class  { public static void main( string []args) { int a=3; int b=2; int s= ++a+b; System.out.println(" hello"); } } Actual output: 6 Expected outpit: 5 So here system is not producing expected output after adding two number. In simple term, whe...
