Hi,

The term smoke testing describes the process of validating code changes before the changes are checked into the product’s source tree. After code reviews, smoke testing is the most cost effective method for identifying and fixing defects in software. Smoke tests are designed to confirm that changes in the code function as expected and do not destabilize an entire build.

>>Can anybody tell me what we test in smoke testing ??

We test the existing code after an modification/changes are done to enhance it.

Since because smoke testing focuses on changed code, you must work with the developer who wrote the code to perform the smoke test. You will have to understand:

1.What changed in the code. To understand the change, you will also have to understand the technology used; the developer can help explain it.

2.How the change affects the functionality.

3.How the change affects the interdependencies of various components.
