What is the need of smoke test even when unit test is done by developers?..

Answer / bhagwat

i Agree with vaishali's answer, however, there is a subtal
difference which I thoght.Unit/module/component testing is
a type of testing that is done by developer, where smoke
testing is the checking of final build before proceeding
for regreesion testing.Mostly smoke testing is done by QA
and if it passed then Build is accepted for further
testing. After completion of smoke testing BAR(build
acceptance report) is prepare. In smoke testing all major
functionalities of application are verified and if 65%-70%
of the functionality is working properly then Build is
accepted for further testing.

Answer / melbourne bala

Unit testing.
it is used to check the single component or program.It is
usually done by software developer or white box tester.Each
and every lines should check atleast one time.the
programming knowledge is must.It is based on code.the
developer should check the loops ,arrays,etc.
Smoke testing
It is for test engineer work.after deployed the build from
software development team.He should check the higher
priority of function check,the very important functions not
working,he will send back the build to software
developer.sanity testing and smoke testing is not
different.advantage of the test is we can find the serious
issues and defect at early stage.

Answer / nagendra

I agree the ans what nani is provided. But, this is not the
correct ans for the ques.

Unit testing is done by the Developers after completion of
the Developing the code. They will think that, what they
are doing is correct. So, there may be a chance of missing
any functionlities. That missing functionality defects will
be caught in the Smoke testing which will be done by the
Testers.

Developers will think in the perspective of their side.
They never said that they are doing wrong. Even Nobody
accept this... :)

Answer / vaishali

Unit test and smoke test are quite different terminology.
Unit test is something for testing the modules/components
independently. Smoke test is for checking the final build
(may be written on the CD/DVD)for verifying that build is
installing properly on the standalone machine.so smoke
testing is to be done on completion of the testing process
and before handing over the release/system to the customer

Answer / n@n!

hi Ashwini,
unit testing and smoke testing both r different.

unit testing was done developeres.
after unit testing was completed the product never release
in the market.
unit testing is initial stage of testing after coading was
release.

smoke testing was done by test engineers.
after smoke testing was completed then only the application
was release in the market.
