Füsttesztek

Füsttesztek, meaning "smoke tests" in Hungarian, refers to a type of software testing where a new build is deployed to a testing environment and a small set of crucial test cases are run to ensure that the most critical functionalities of the program are working. The primary goal of a smoke test is to quickly verify that the build is stable enough to proceed with further, more extensive testing. It's often the first level of testing performed on a new release or build.

The term "smoke test" originates from hardware testing, where a device was powered on, and if it didn't emit smoke, it was considered to have passed the initial test. In software, a smoke test aims to catch major, show-stopping issues early in the development cycle. If a smoke test fails, the build is typically rejected, and the development team must fix the fundamental problems before more comprehensive testing can begin.

These tests are usually automated and cover the most important features and workflows of the application. They are not meant to be exhaustive but rather to provide a quick, high-level assurance of stability. Smoke tests help to save time and resources by preventing developers from investing effort in testing a build that is fundamentally broken. They are a crucial part of a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline.
