I am currently working on updating regression test suite. I would like to add some simple test at the beginning of the regression suite to make sure it is still behaving correctly and all the basic functionality still works (can perform basic operations and also it is able to connect to the database or other services) before proceed with full regression test suite. These test would not be specialized based on type of changes which were made to the software, but would only cover specific subset of regression tests, which would be the same for every new build. They would cover broad range of functionality. Would these test be considered more as sanity tests or smoke tests? Thank you.
