Smoke Testing

Summary

Smoke testing is a preliminary testing process used to check the basic functionality of a software application before it undergoes further testing.

Detailed Description

In software development, smoke testing, also known as 'build verification testing', involves running a set of basic tests to ensure that the critical features of the application work as intended. The objective is to identify any major defects that could hinder further testing. It is often conducted after a new build or version is deployed to an environment, acting as a gatekeeper to more rigorous testing phases.
