Sanity Test - CI/CD Glossary Definition

A sanity test is a narrow, focused check that a specific new change or bug fix behaves as expected, without re-verifying the whole system.

How it differs

A smoke test broadly confirms the build is stable; a sanity test narrowly confirms one function or fix is rational after a change.
