quality assurance:it is the entire s/w dev process.
quality control:It is the actual testing done on the app
smoke test:initial testing done by developers before the app released for testing.
sanity testing:initial testing done by testers before the app taken for major testing effort.
usablity testing:the main purpos of this testing is to check for the user friendliness of the app.

Sanity testing is meant to determine the maintained stability of an application after a change.
So someone may have made a change in a completely unrelated area, but to ensure that the application is
still worked as it should, you would conduct a very abbreviated set of tests to determine that the application is
still working properly, without having to perform another full test cycle.
 
 
Smoke Testing is nothing but a set of regression test cases that are executed each time for new build. This is also called as BVT(Build Verification Test). Build is not assigned to test team unless and until the BVT passes.
 

User Interface Test

Easy-of-use UI testing evaluates how intuitive a system is. Issues pertaining to navigation, usability, commands, and accessibility are considered. User interface functionality testing examines how well a UI operates to specifications.

Smoke testing is the testing the satblety of the application at perticular envernment,means testing the major functionalitys of the application. For smoke testing test cases is not required.
 
Sanity testing is nothing but cursery testing, it performed where ever the cursery testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioned as per client specification. For sanity test test cases is required.
