A smoke test consists of functional or unit tests of critical software functionality. Smoke testing comes before further, in-depth testing.
Smoke testing answers questions like
-
"Does the program start up correctly?"
-
"Do the main control buttons function?"
-
"Can you save a simple blank new test user account?"
If this basic functionality fails, there is no point investing time in more detailed QA work at this stage.
