Security testing is the testing the application for unauthorized access. Means application should not be accessible without proper authentication and authorization. And Smoke Testing is the testing an application for testability. In Smoke testing we check whether the application is capable enough to test further or not.

RE: security testing and smoke testing

Security testing is perhaps the most conclusive determinant of whether a system is configured and continues to be configured to the correct security controls and policy. If the following testing activities are followed they can be highly cost-effective in preventing incidents and uncovering unknown vulnerabilities.


Smoke testing is done when ever we received the build whether the application is eligible for further level of testing if application is having critical bugs then we can reject the application.

RE: security testing and smoke testing

Security Testing: The Process to determine that an IS (Information System) protects data and maintains functionality as intended.

The six basic security concepts that need to be covered by security testing are: confidentiality integrity authentication authorization availability and non-repudiation.

smoke testing is a preliminary to further testing which should reveal simple failures severe enough to reject a prospective software release.

smoke test is a collection of written tests that are performed on a system prior to being accepted for further testing. This is also known as a Build Verification Test.

RE: security testing and smoke testing

Security Testing: It is used to know whether the application is used by only with the authorised users.


Smoke Testing: It is actually came from the hardware components that is while we are testing the hardware it should not catch fire easily until is said to be smoke testing passes if it catches easily then it is smoke testing failed same we are applying in the software by testing to the maximum limit and finding the best.
