Explanation

Smoke testing (also called build verification testing) is performed to check if the application is stable enough for further major testing and is working properly without failing in critical areas. It's a preliminary testing to determine the basic 'smoke' doesn't come out of the application when run - indicating it's stable enough for deeper testing. Sanity testing is similar but narrower (tests specific fixes), Load testing checks performance, and Usability testing evaluates user experience.
