When do we do
Smoke Testing?
Done by developers before giving build to testing team
Done by testers before they start the detailed testing
When new functionalities of software are developed

Defects & bugs identified at early stages
It minimizes integration risks
Saves test effort as well as test time
Improves the effectiveness of QA team
Reduces need for manual intervention
Improves the quality of the system
Very limited number of test cases needed

12. www.edureka.co
Deploy the initial builds
Each build represents a feature of
application
Designing test cases
Series of test cases designed to expose
errors after the release of a build
Sizing a smoke test suite
To be efficient smoke test suite should contain an
easily manageable number of tests
Automate execution of tests
Automation can prove to be efficient & worthy
in smoke test suits
Test execution & reporting
Execute smoke test cases that you have
created and act according to the results

How is Smoke Testing Different
from Sanity Testing?

15. Things to consider when performing smoke tests
➢Smoke test during at early stages of project
➢Record all your smoke tests
➢Test cases should be short & precise
➢Automate whenever possible
➢Maintain a test case repository
➢Don’t’ just stop with smoke testing
➢Use smoke tests to test basic functionalities
Popular API Testing Tools
✓ Selenium
✓ PhantomJS

16. www.edureka.cowww.edureka.co
Selenium
✓ Cross platform support
✓ Multiple languages
✓ Easy integration with CI tool
✓ Large community support
× Slow performance
× Only few VMs
× IDE recording is less effective
PhantomJS
✓ Low resources needed
✓ Easy to use
✓ Multiple tests
✓ Supports screen capture
× Requires heavy set up
× Lack of ecosystem
× Not good for web app testers
