71.WHAT IS SMOKE AND SANITY TESTING?
SMOKE→
o It is a kind of Software Testing performed after software build to ascertain that the
critical functionalities of the program are working fine.
o The purpose is to reject a badly broken application so that the QA team does not
waste time installing and testing the software application.
o In Smoke Testing, the test cases chose to cover the most important functionality or
component of the system. The objective is not to perform exhaustive testing, but to
verify that the critical functionalities of the system are working fine.
SANITY→
o Sanity testing is a kind of Software Testing performed after receiving a software build,
with minor changes in code, or functionality, to ascertain that the bugs have been fixed
and no further issues are introduced due to these changes.
72. Smoke Testing Vs Sanity Testing - Key Differences
73. Tell me a Bug having High Priority and Low Severity and
a Bug having Low Priority and High Severity and a Bug with
High Priority and High Severity? Or
Give the example of high severity and low priority defect in
any your project? Not general answer required.
❖ High Priority High Severity:
In our application while creating an Account with special characters in the name it
was crashing the application. So this was a bug having High Priority and High
Severity.
Justification: Priority of the Bug was high because it was application crash and
user was losing the data which he entered while creating the account.
Severity of the Bug was high because it was application crash.
❖ High Priority Low Severity
In our application we have Account Profile Report which was giving us Revenue related
information for the given Subsidiary, Date and Products filter. But when I was selecting All
subsidiaries then it was not showing data for India Subsidiary. So this was a bug having High
Priority and Low Severity.
Justification: Priority of the bug was high because it was a data loss for India Subsidiary and
90% of the users were from US subsidiary.
Severity of the bug was low because we were able to test the report for the rest of the
subsidiary.
❖ Low Priority High Severity
In our application while creating more than 100 Contacts for the given account it was crashing
the application. So this was a bug having Low Priority and High Severity.
Justification: Priority of the bug was Low as the chances of creating contacts more than 100 for
the given account by business was very less.
Severity of the bug was high as it was application crash.
❖ Low Priority Low Severity
There was spelling mistake in our help file of the application. So this was a bug
having low priority and low severity.
Justification: Priority of the bug was low as the chances of accessing that help file
was less.
Severity of the bug was low as it was not affecting any functionality.
❖ Medium Priority Medium Severity
In our application we have Account Profile Report which was giving us Revenue
related information for the given Subsidiary, Date and Products filter. But for the
selected date it was showing wrong revenue. So it was a bug having Medium
Priority and Medium Severity.
Justification: Priority and severity of the bug was Medium because it was affecting
the main functionality.
