What is smoke testing?

Answer Posted / arvind

Testing the basic and critical features before doing tharough testing is called smoke testing
•When ever we TE will get a new build from developing team they start doing smoke testing, because of adding,modifying,deleting features or fixing the bugs might introduce new defects so we do smoke testing
•The person who installed the s/w or product to the production he do smoke testing,to check wether he installed the s/or product in a correct or not
•when coustomer acceptence testing he do smoke testing from beginning itself because he received product or s/w properly or not
•Before developer giving the s/w or build to the test engineer he do smoke testing so that there is lot of defect they dont need to give the s/w to the test engineer
Why we do smoke testing
•To check wether we received broken build or not from the developing team, so that we do smoke testing
•To check wether product is testable or not
•To check wether product installed properly or not
•To do smoke testing we have find lot of critical and blocker defects so developers have sufficient time to fix the defect.
