Smoke & Sanity Testing
Fast, focused checks that confirm a build is stable enough to test further, or ship.
Why Smoke & Sanity Testing Matters
Before a deeper test cycle or a production release, we run rapid smoke and sanity passes on the critical paths that matter most, so broken builds get caught in minutes, not days.
Tools & Technologies We Use
What We Test
What This Looks Like In Practice
Post-Deployment Sanity Check
Immediately after a production deploy, we run a scoped sanity pass on login, checkout, and core navigation to catch a broken deployment within minutes, not when a customer reports it.
CI Pipeline Smoke Gate
A smoke suite runs automatically on every merge to main, blocking a build from progressing to staging if a critical path is broken.
Pre-Release Build Verification
Before a build goes to the full regression team, a short smoke pass confirms it's even worth testing further, saving hours when a build turns out to be broken at the source.
What You Walk Away With
Why We're a Good Choice for Smoke & Sanity Testing
Speed is the entire point of smoke and sanity testing - if it takes as long as a full regression cycle, it's not doing its job. We scope these checks tightly around your critical paths and can turn results around fast enough to sit directly in your CI pipeline as a build-verification gate, so broken builds get caught in minutes, before they waste a deeper test cycle.
Common Questions About Smoke & Sanity Testing
How fast can you turn around a smoke test on a new build?+
Smoke and sanity checks are deliberately scoped to critical paths only, so turnaround is typically minutes, not hours - fast enough to gate a build before it moves to a deeper test cycle.
Can smoke tests be automated as a CI pipeline gate?+
Yes - we regularly set these up as automated CI pipeline smoke gates, so a build that fails critical-path checks is flagged automatically before it reaches manual QA or production.
What's the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing here?+
Smoke testing verifies the build is stable enough to test further at all (does it start, do core flows load); sanity testing verifies a specific change or fix works as expected without re-testing everything else. We scope each to what you actually need.
