Sanity Testing is a quick assessment performed on a software build after minor changes have been made. Its purpose is to determine whether the build is stable enough for further testing.
Key Aspects:
- Focuses on specific functionalities that may have been affected by recent changes.
- Conducted quickly to save time before more extensive testing phases.
- Helps identify major issues early in the testing cycle.
Benefits:
- Ensures that critical functionalities work as expected after changes.
- Reduces time spent on detailed testing if fundamental issues are found.
- Provides immediate feedback to developers about the quality of the build.
Sanity testing is often part of regression testing processes, helping teams maintain software quality throughout development.
