smoke testing
Smoke testing is a type of software testing which ensures that the major functionalities of the application are working fine. This testing is also known as ‘Build Verification testing’. It is a non-exhaustive testing with very limited test cases to ensure that the important features are working fine and we are good to proceed with the detailed testing.
The term ‘smoke’ testing is originated from the hardware testing, where a device when first switched on is tested for the smoke or fire from its components. This ensures that the hardware’s basic components are working fine and no serious failures are found.
