Agenda of the Session:

  Smoke Testing

  Sanity Testing

 

Interview Questions:

1. Explain differences between Smoke Testing and sanity Testing?

     Step 1: Business Requirements

     Step 2: HLD

     Step 3: Quotation

     Step 4: FRS

     Step 5: Build

     Step 5: Deploy Testing server(SYS Server)

     Step 6: Test Execution

          6.1 Smoke Test execution

     Step 7: Deveoper deployed Build 2 with defect fixes

  What? 

   A type of testing which verifies whether the build is ready for 

    testing or not. Qualified enough to start testing or not.

   How to do smoke testing for Web Appication? 

    1. Build Deployment Success-->Server Logs

    2. Landing page  Load

    3. Basic end to end flow

Smoke testing intenstion is to reveal critical 

failures of the appication  which are blocking the major

 functionaity of the system

    Ex: Load Failure

       Missing of key fields/Features

       Data connection broken(Data insertion to DB)

       Server crash-Technical error page cannot be dispayed 

       

Smoke Testing chracteristics are:

     1.  Smoke testing must be completed in short span of time

     2.  Smoke testing must be quick test which covers basic

                   end to end flow

     3.  No need to find all the defects ,the main purpose of smoke 

          testing is to find showstopper defects/Critical failures

When?

Scenario: You are the tester and you observed that smoke testing is 

           failed then what you will do? 

Ans: 

    Step 1: Send all your results to Deveoper for confirmation

    Step 2: Open the defect management tool and create the

                      Critical severity defect

    Step 3: Update Environment down time tracker

   

 

Sanity Testing: 

        1. It is also not a detailed test

        2. Sanity must be performed by testing before delivering the 

            appication to next level

           Ex: Sanity regression

        3. After depoying the tested application in UAT Server 

            If users/Client/Testers wants to do one more round of  testing then Sanity testing is required to any any changes

        4. If we are not having time to do comlpete testing then It is advisable to go for Sanity Test.

   

  Smoke Testing vs Sanity Testing:

      1. When compared to smoke test, sanity is more detailed and indepth test.

      2. Smoke test must cover end to end flow of the appication, where as  

Sanity need not be end flow flow

              2.1 Important features

              2.2 Frequently failed features

              2.3 Critical to business

      3. Smoke test must be preplanned with scripted test cases but sanity may not be end to end flow/end to end test cases(Adhoc testing)

     4. Smoke testing will be done to know whether we can start testing

             or not where as sanity test will be done before giving it 

                  to next level

    What?

    How?

    When?

    Who?

    What are the benefits of performing smoke testing?

    What will happen if smoke testing fails?

    

   Smoke Testing=BVT

   -------------------------------------

     2. Smoke Testing

     3. Test the changes

     4. Report the defects for changes made by deveoper

     5. Retesting

     6. Regression
