I read an article about Test Driven Datamigration (German, PDF) and they mentioned a Sanity Suite. It is not well explained and there's no definition.
Is there a definition or is it a spongy word?
This is a small set of unit or integration tests, just to check sanity -- that the system basically works. It can be useful to extract such a suite from your larger suite of automated tests for rapid testing when you don't have time for the full suite.
Sanity tests does not have any specific tests cases and mostly done without test cases. Show activity on this post. For sanity testing , Just need to check straight forward flow of application whether it is working or not.
Definition: Sanity testing is a subset of regression testing. After receiving the software build, sanity testing is performed to ensure that the code changes introduced are working as expected . This testing is a checkpoint to determine if testing for the build can proceed or not.
Sanity testing is performed to ensure that the code changes that are made are working as properly. Sanity testing is a stoppage to check whether testing for the build can proceed or not. The focus of the team during sanity testing process is to validate the functionality of the application and not detailed testing.

In practice, the sanity suite is often all that is developed, though it is better than nothing.
