Topic: SMOKE TESTING

Message


   This type of 
    testing is also called sanity testing and is done in order to check if the 
    application is ready for further major testing and is working properly 
    without failing up to least expected level. A test of new or repaired 
    equipment by turning it on. If it smokes... guess what... it doesn't work! 
    The term also refers to testing the basic functions of software. The term 
    was originally coined in the manufacture of containers and pipes, where 
    smoke was introduced to determine if there were any leaks. A common practice 
    at Microsoft and some other shrink-wrap software companies is the "daily 
    build and smoke test" process. Every file is compiled, linked, and combined 
    into an executable program every day, and the program is then put through a 
    "smoke test," a relatively simple check to see whether the product "smokes" 
    when it runs.
