The term 'sanity testing' refers to a subset of regression testing. The sanity testing ensures that the changes made to the code do not adversely affect the system's performance. After the software build is received, a sanity test is conducted to ensure that the changes made to the code are working correctly. As a checkpoint, this testing is used to determine whether the build can proceed with further testing. Sanity testing focuses on validating the functionality of the application rather than detailed testing.
Features :
* It focuses on a smaller section of the application and is a subset of regression testing.
* The process is undocumented.
* Sanity testing is often unscripted.
* In this approach, limited functionalities are deeply tested.
* A tester is usually responsible for performing this task.
