What is smoke testing?
The term "smoke testing" is used in several different contexts. People often use it to indicate a system test, such as a vacuum system or a plumbing system in which smoke is literally forced to seek leaks and other problems. This term can also be used metaphorically to talk about testing other things, usually in terms of a quick test carried out to confirm that the tested system is functional, although it only works at a very basic level. Smoke testing can be used to identify leaks and inputs and can be used if the waste water spills, backs up or if there are other problems. In this type of smoke test, the non -toxic smoke is blown by a sewer system and observers follow the clouds of smoke that can reveal the problems of narration. This type of testing is usually carried out by employees of public works to monitor the public for and the andnvironmental security.
While the smoke used is not toxic, generally not a good helpInhale it because it can be unpleasant. People working on the system can wear face protection to reduce the risk of inhalation, and observers can be advised to stand up. Once the smoke cleans the system, it disappears harmlessly.
Some types of closed and vacuum systems can also be tested using smoke testing. In this case, the technician wants to confirm that the system is actually sealed before filling, so it is filled with smoke and smoke is monitored. If the smoke escapes, the system is not closed, and this must be solved. This type of smoke testing reduces waste and the risk of exposure to toxins by ensuring that the closed system is indeed and actually closed before it is filled.
People also sometimes refer to the rapid involvement of electronics to confirm that they are functions as "smoke testing". In this case, the device is connected and on to check any apparent problems. It can be a provEdeno during development or repair due to security concerns or concerns about how repairs are going. “Smoke testing” is also used in software development, to link to a quick test in which the software is activated, and the technician awaits what will happen. If the software fails catastrophically, it is time to return to the drawing board and if it works, larger testing can continue.
