what is the difference beween dry run testing and smoke
testing?

Answer Posted / ganesh

A dry run is a testing process where the effects of a
possible failure are intentionally mitigated. For example,
an aerospace company may conduct a "dry run" of a takeoff
using a new aircraft on a runway before the first test
flight.


Smoke testing is a term used in plumbing, woodwind repair,
electronics, computer software development, infectious
disease control, and the entertainment industry. It refers
to the first test made after repairs or first assembly to
provide some assurance that the system under test will not
catastrophically fail. After a smoke test proves that "the
pipes will not leak, the keys seal properly, the circuit
will not burn, or the software will not crash outright,"
the assembly is ready for more stressful testing.
