smoke testing
Smoke Testing is a software testing process that determines whether the deployed software build is stable or not.
Smoke testing is a confirmation for QA team to proceed with further software testing.
It consists of a minimal set of tests run on each build to test software functionalities.
Smoke testing is also known as "Build Verification Testing" or “Confidence Testing.”
In simple terms, we are verifying whether the important features are working and there are no showstoppers in the build that is under testing.
It is a mini and rapid regression test of major functionality. It is a simple test that shows the product is ready for testing.
This helps determine if the build is flawed as to make any further testing a waste of time and resources.
