Smoke testing

Smoke testing is a type of software testing that aims to ensure that the most important functions of a software application are working correctly. This testing is typically performed early in the development process, after the software has been built but before it has been extensively tested. Smoke tests are designed to be relatively quick and easy to run, and they can help to identify major problems with the software before more detailed testing is performed. The idea behind smoke testing is to "test the smoke" that comes out of the system, meaning that the tests are designed to check for any obvious signs of problems or failures. Smoke testing is also sometimes called "build verification testing" or "build acceptance testing."
