A smoke test is a shallow and wide approach whereby all areas of the application without getting into too deep is tested.

A smoke test is designed to touch every part of the application in a cursory way.

Hi,

Smoke testing is done after every build , to find out whether all the links and screens are displayed properly without any problem. It is done just to make sure that the build is proper or not. It is also known as Build Verification Testing (BVT).

If the build passes the smoke test then only it is further tested.

once the development team handsover the application for testing we test the application whether it is good enough for system testing or not and at this point we even take the go/no go decision depending up on the quality of the product.

        this is called smoke testing.
