Smoke and sanity testing
The core application workflow will be the main area of Smoke Testing's attention. Therefore, we choose the test cases from our test suite that best represent the application's core functionality. Typically, we select a small number of test cases that can be completed in less than 30 minutes. You are employed at an online store. As a Software QA, it is your responsibility to ensure that the essential features are operational when a new build is made available for testing. So you attempt to access the online store and add an item to your shopping basket in order to make a purchase. In the majority of eCommerce sites, that is a crucial workflow. If the flow is successful, the build can be considered successful. On the same build, you can continue with functional testing.
Sanity testing is carried out at the release phase to verify the application's core functionality without probing further. It is also known as Regression testing's subset. At the "release level," it is carried out. Sanity testing performs the necessary main functions checks when thorough regression testing on the build is occasionally impossible owing to release timing constraints. We frequently don't have enough time to finish the entire test. We will face pressure from the product owners to finish testing by the end of the day, especially when using the Agile Methodology. We choose for Sanity Testing in these situations. Sanity testing is crucial in these kinds of circumstances.
Similar to smoke testing, sanity testing does not have its own set of test cases. Simply selecting the relevant test cases from the written test cases is what we do. It falls under regression testing, as was previously indicated. The primary goal of sanity testing is to confirm that the intended functionality operates as anticipated. Real-Time Illustration Let's use the same illustration as before. Let's say you are developing an online store. The functionality of Search is been enhanced by a new feature. Here, the search feature should be your primary concern. You go on to other crucial features, including payment flow, after making sure the search functionality is functioning properly.

Quality Assurance Testers test software and hardware for businesses and companies. They test it to see if it works as expected.
There are 6 phases of Software Testing Life Cycle
1. Requirement Analysis - The first stage of the software testing life cycle is requirement analysis (STLC). The quality assurance team is aware of the requirements, such as what will be tested, throughout this phase. The quality assurance team interacts with the stakeholders to better understand the requirements in depth if anything is missing or not clear.
2. Test Planning - The most productive stage of the software testing life cycle is test planning, where all test strategies are laid out. The testing team manager calculates the projected cost and effort for the testing activity during this phase. Once the requirement gathering phase is over, this phase begins.
3. Test Case Development - After the test planning step is finished, the test case development phase begins. The testing team records specific test cases during this phase. The testing team also prepares the necessary test data. The quality assurance team reviews the test cases after they have been prepared.
4. Test Environment Setup - The setting of the test environment is crucial to the STLC. In essence, the test environment establishes the parameters in which software is tested. The creation of test cases might be started concurrently with this autonomous activity. The testing team is not involved in this process. The testing environment is created by either the developer or the client.
5. Test Execution - Test case development and test environment setup are followed by the test execution step. In this phase, the testing team begins running test cases that were prepared in the preceding phase.
6. Test Closure - Last stage of STLC which it analyzes the testing process.

What I learned today at Techie Youth-Day #1
Today I learned about the importance of editing in movies.
Bad Ideas -> Good Ideas
Editors and Directors have to work together to have a good final product. Bad Ideas leads to Good Ideas. An example of this is when the director of the movie "Arrival" wanted a scene where Amy Adams is dreaming in the alien language. The director was thinking of putting together scenes they already had to make a new scene. The editor however did not seem to agree it would work. But the editor trusted the director and it didn't work at first. All they needed was a few tweaks and that's exactly what they did and turned a bad idea to a good idea.

The basics of editing:
1. Have a well prepared script
2. Choose your combination of colors that help your movie stand out
3. Use high quality images
4. Prepare audio and sound
5. Format your video
6. Market your video
7. Bring it all together
