A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the application in a cursory way. It’s shallow and wide.
Smoke testing is conducted to ensure whether the most crucial functions of a program are working, but not bothering with finer details. (Such as build verification).
Ex:normal health check up to a build of an application before taking it to testing in depth.

Sanity testing is to verify whether requirements are met or not, checking all features breadth-first.
