Smoke testing and sanity testing are two terms that may be unfamiliar to someone outside of the test engineer profession. Like retesting and regression testing, these terms are similar but not identical. As a test engineer, you should be aware of this and be able to describe their differences. The interviewer is likely to ask you about several different types of tests during the interview. Reviewing all the tests used in your profession to refresh your knowledge is a good practice before any interview.
