Smoke Testing is a high-level test to check whether the major functionalities of an application are working after a new build or deployment. It’s often called a “Build Verification Test (BVT)” . Whenever a new build is received, some basic functionality of the application is verified. Purpose: To validate the stability of a build before proceeding to detailed testing. Performed on every new build release. To catch issue early on new build release. Example: Check if the application launches. Check if user login works. Check if main navigation is functional.

Bug: A software bug is an unexpected behavior of the system that the user or QA didn't anticipate or intend. The Bug Life Cycle (also known as the Defect Life Cycle) defines the journey of a defect from its initial discovery to its final closure. This process ensures that every bug is tracked, fixed, and verified systematically to maintain software quality. 🔁 Phases of Bug Life Cycle New: When a tester finds a new bug, it's marked as "New". It's waiting for review by the development team or project lead. Assigned: The bug is reviewed and assigned to a developer for fixing. Open: The developer has started working on the bug fix. Fixed: The developer has fixed the bug and the status is updated to "Fixed". Retest: The bug is sent back to the testing team for validation. Testers perform retesting to ensure the bug is really fixed. ...
