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.

Smoke Testing :
1. When we get the build we go with the smoke testing to check that the build is ready for the test.
2. It is wide and shallow testing.
3. we check the basic and critical modules of the application.
Sanity Testing:
1. When the bug is fixed by the developer we go with sanity testing.
2. re-testing , bug fixes and the impacted area is called sanity testing.
3. it is deep and narrow testing.
