WHAT IS 
SMOKE  
TESTING
www.devstringx.com
The smoke testing is also known as the build validation test. It is a software testing  
method that includes several non-exhaustive tests to ensure that the main 
features of  the product are working properly. The results of this test play an 
important role in  determining whether the build can proceed to the critical testing 
phase.
Smoke testing is a term derived from the electronics industry itself. If the 
hardware  component is being repaired and begins to operate without smoke, the 
hardware  component has passed the test. Smoke testing covers almost all 
major features of a  software product, but does not go into detail.

What was revealed in the smoke test was considered important for further testing. If the  
product passes this test, further testing should be performed. On the other hand, if this 
test  fails, you should focus on getting a new version with the necessary changes rather 
than  thinking about further tests.
If your app isn't good enough to pass the first tests, spend time elsewhere instead of doing  
detailed tests. This is mainly taken into account during system testing, acceptance testing, 
and  integration testing. It does not replace regression or functional testing.
Smoke testing gives you the freedom to choose test cases related to a critical 
component or  function of your software product. The goal is not to carry out 
exhaustive tests, but to verify  that the critical functions of the system are working 
correctly. Based on the results obtained  from the smoke test, the tester can make 
important decisions about whether the product is  stable and whether to proceed to the 
next testing step.

After the smoke test, the tester should ask themselves some very basic questions. Can I 
access  the software application? Is the GUI responsive? Can users easily navigate between 
different  windows? Each project has multiple modules, connections, user view, task 
creation, new user  creation, detailed users page, etc.
The smoke test verifies all functions associated with these modules. So we check if the 
user  can log in with their login credentials, if the user can see it easily after logging in, 
etc. These  tests are performed by the development team before the release is released 
to the testing  team.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR PERFORMING SMOKE TESTS
Run smoke tests during the early level of a project or 
product  Regularly record all the smoke tests
Smoke tests shouldn't take quite an hour
These tests should be conducted for each sprint and each release  
These tests are essential to be performed for every new build 
deployed  Essential to take care of a test suit repository
Automate smoke tests wherever possible to scale back time and 
price  Run smoke tests for all important functionalities over new 
builds

CONCLUSION
There are many benefits to smoke testing at an early stage of merchandise development. 
Hence,  this testing process should be adopted because it quickly evaluates the essential 
functionalities of  a replacement build and ensures whether the build is suitable to be moved 
for further testing.
Therefore, while performing on software products, enterprises should take into 
consideration  smoke testing as a crucial testing process to gauge the build stability.
