Aspect | Smoke Testing | Sanity Testing | Regression Testing |
---|---|---|---|
Definition | Verifying the basic functionalities of the build. | Verifying specific fixes or changes made. | Ensuring that new changes do not break existing features. |
Scope | Broad, covering core functionality. | Narrow, focused on specific functionalities. | Comprehensive, covering the full system or significant parts. |
When to Perform | At the beginning of testing on a new build. | After bug fixes or minor changes are applied. | After updates, patches, or new features are added. |
Purpose | To ensure the stability of the build for further testing. | To ensure that a fix or change works without breaking other parts. | To ensure that no new issues are introduced in the system. |
Time Consuming | Quick and takes little time. | Quick and focuses only on recent changes. | More time-consuming as it may involve large portions of the system. |
Importance | Saves time by identifying major issues early. | Ensures that specific fixes work correctly. | Prevents unintended side effects and ensures system stability. |
Why All Three Are Important:
By performing these three types of testing, the development and QA teams can ensure that the software is of high quality and free from critical issues that would impact the user experience.
