Confirmation Testing (Smoke Tests)

The Ultra-Fast Diagnosis

With every new update or deployment, there is a risk that a major, blocking error has been introduced. Confirmation Testing (Smoke Tests) is our essential and immediate verification mechanism.

They act like a vital health check for your application: if critical functions “smoke” (i.e., fail), we know right away before wasting time on longer tests.

 

Goal: Immediate Stability after Deployment

A smoke test is not an exhaustive test ; it’s a minimal quality filter designed to answer a crucial question in just a few minutes: “Is the application stable and usable for basic functions?”

Our Value: Instant Risk Reduction

Blocking Issues in Production
The smoke test lets you immediately detect any critical bug, such as a homepage that doesn’t load or a login that’s impossible. This quick verification maximizes responsiveness: your team can rollback before users are impacted, avoiding costly service interruptions.
Wasted QA Resources
Smoke tests confirm that the test environment is healthy before launching lengthy and expensive QA campaigns. This preliminary check ensures operational efficiency, your testers don’t spend time validating a fundamentally broken version.
Deployment Integrity
We verify that all critical system components — servers, databases, third-party services — have been correctly updated and interconnected. This reinforces confidence in your CI/CD pipeline by confirming the deployment went smoothly without introducing infrastructure issues.

Our Focus: Essential Checkpoint Matrix

Our Smoke Testing process is structured around essential checkpoints:

  1. Environment Accessibility: Can the application be reached? Do core pages (homepage, login) load without error 500?
  2. Authentication : Can users successfully log in and log out?
  3. Main Functionality: Is the core business feature accessible? (e.g., can a product be added to the cart? can a chat be started?)
  4. Critical Connections: Are links to essential third-party services (database, payment service, external APIs) working correctly?

The result? A quick and reliable green light giving you permission to proceed to deeper functional tests, or an immediate red light for urgent fixes.
