Sanity Testing:
              Whether the development team released build is stable for complete testing or not?
              This type of checking is also known as tester acceptance test (TAT) or Build verification test(BVT)
 
Smoke testing :
                    It is small shakeup in sanity testing process. In this level testins team reject a build with the reason when that build is not working

sanity & smoke testing are initial testing approach done by test lead.
Sanity: it verifies the readyness of the application which is under testing.
Smoke: During this testing process test lead will verify all the major functionalities of the app to know wheather the app is ready for complete testing process or  not.

smoke test- is an integration testing approach. it is used to check the key functionality of the program (preferable without any user input), it is not exhaustive and should be capable of exposing major problems. Also known as build verification test.

sanity test- is to test behavior of application. It involves 1) core test to test basic GUI functionality. 2) to test if system is stable till the end of testing & not get crashed. 3) TAT tester acceptance test to check if the build is acceptable for testing or not.
These 3 tests are conducted before starting black box testing.

Pls let me know what is progressive testing.
Thanks.

1

Smoke testing originated in the hardware testing practice of turning on a new piece of hardware for the first time and considering it a success if it does not catch fire and smoke. In software industry smoke testing is a shallow and wide approach whereby all areas of the application without getting into too deep is tested.

A sanity test is a narrow regression test that focuses on one or a few areas of functionality. Sanity testing is usually narrow and deep.

2

A smoke test is scripted--either using a written set of tests or an automated test

A sanity test is usually unscripted.

3

A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the application in a cursory way. It's is shallow and wide.

A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the application is still working after a minor change.

4

Smoke testing will be conducted to ensure whether the most crucial functions of a program work but not bothering with finer details. (Such as build verification).

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.

5

Smoke testing is normal health check up to a build of an application before taking it to testing in depth.

sanity testing is to verify whether requirements are met or not

checking all features breadth-first.
