A Smoke Testing Task is a preliminary build verification software testing task that can support smoke test execution tasks.
- AKA: Build Verification Testing Task, Build Verification Test, BVT, Confidence Testing Task.
- Context:
- It can verify Software Build Stability through smoke test cases.
- It can check Critical Software Features through smoke test executions.
- It can determine Build Testability through smoke test results.
- It can enable Early Defect Detection through smoke test failures.
- It can provide Rapid Build Feedback through smoke test automations.
- ...
- It can often prevent Wasted Testing Effort through smoke test gatekeepings.
- It can often support Continuous Integration Pipelines through automated smoke test executions.
- It can often execute Core Functionality Tests through smoke test suites.
- It can often validate Basic System Operations through smoke test scenarios.
- ...
- It can range from being a Manual Smoke Testing Task to being an Automated Smoke Testing Task, depending on its smoke testing execution method.
- It can range from being a Simple Smoke Testing Task to being a Comprehensive Smoke Testing Task, depending on its smoke testing coverage scope.
- It can range from being a Quick Smoke Testing Task to being an Extended Smoke Testing Task, depending on its smoke testing execution duration.
- It can range from being a Basic Smoke Testing Task to being an Advanced Smoke Testing Task, depending on its smoke testing complexity level.
- ...
- Example(s):
- Build Smoke Testing Tasks, such as:
- Application Smoke Testing Tasks, such as:
- API Smoke Testing Tasks, such as:
- ...
- Counter-Example(s):
- Regression Testing Task, which performs comprehensive functionality verification rather than basic build stability checks.
- Sanity Testing Task, which focuses on specific feature verification rather than broad system stability.
- Integration Testing Task, which verifies component interactions rather than basic build functionality.
- Performance Testing Task, which measures system performance metrics rather than basic operational capability.
- Security Testing Task, which identifies security vulnerabilitys rather than build stability issues.
