At first, let’s make out what smoke and what sanity testing is. Smoke testing is non-exhaustive software testing, checking out whether the most important functions of a program work, but ignoring finer details. It is kind of testing performed to make sure that the project done can be further tested more thoroughly. It is done, in most cases, to inspect the stability of the build made for software testing.

A subset of regression test cases are performed to check if [...]

Performance testing is done to assess the efficiency of components of a definite system in a particular situation; it is the process of estimating the speed or effectiveness of a computer or network, or software program or a device. This term comprises a lot of notions, among which are: load testing, stress testing, capacity testing, volume testing, endurance testing, spike testing, scalability testing, reliability testing and so on. Usually this kind of testing doesn’t fail.
