Hi,

Smoke testing is the initial testing when we get the Build. In this testing, we test whether the build is Stable to execute the test cases in the next phase of testing. If we find any major functionality is not working then we reject the build. If all major functionalities are working properly then we accept the build for comprehensive testing. This can be called as Build Verification testing.

Cheers

Smoke testing is nothing but also sanitry test.

This type of testing 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

smoke testing and sanity testing are not same...sanity testing:sanity test is a quick testing implemented by the tester in the test environement to make sure the application is ready for testing.If sanity testing is pass we continue with the through testing.smoke testing:while releasing the application to the client we have to test the application on the final release media i.e. CD or FTP server such testing is called smoketesting.

It is a type of testing in which one can perform an intial level of testing on an application.In order to ensure whether all the windows/objects/features are basically available in order to carry on the detail testing on it. Hence it is a non detailed testing which can be accomplished within a short span of time.SMOKE TESTING IS CALLED AS AVAILABILITY TESTING.

Smoke testing is collection of tests that are performed on system prior to being accepted for further testing. Tester tests all areas of an application without going into details. It is also called as build verification testing.

Smoke Test: When a build is received, a smoke test is run to ascertain if the build is stable and it can be considered for further testing.

smoke testing can be done for testing the stability of any interim build.

Smoke testing can be executed for platform qualification tests.

When a build is released to test, the very first thing a tester does is run a 'smoke test' to ensure the software is in a suitable state for testing.  A smoke test is superficial software testing which determines whether the most crucial functions of a software works properly.  It assesses the software from a high level and does not bother with its finer details.

The term 'smoke test' comes to software from a similar type of testing in hardware, when a prototype passed the test if it didn't catch fire and start billowing smoke. 

A daily build and smoke test is among industry best practices advocated by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).
