Smoke testing is the first quick round of simple tests run on a new software build to verify that it starts and does not catastrophically crash. It is a preliminary to further testing, and is also a fast way to verify the basic integrity of a new development environment, as well as a good tour of basic functionality. The instructions below are for smoke-testing core Sugar using Activities included in Glucose (though it does not test the Activities themselves). To learn how to create smoke tests for other software (such as Activities), see [[creating a smoke test]].

* Install Sugar. All smoke test cases assume you begin with a clean install of Sugar in Home view with no Activities running.

* [[#Installation and setup|Install]] the current [[#Image under test|Sugar image under test]]. All smoke test cases assume you begin with a clean install of Sugar in Home view with no Activities running.

* Review [[Sugar on a Stick/Getting Involved]] for known problems with your build.

* Execute the smoke test cases below. Test cases are listed in priority order, so if you have limited time, go through them sequentially.

* If a smoke test fails, [http://dev.sugarlabs.org file a bug in Trac] noting the failure with as much detail and reproduction steps as possible.

* (Needed: a way to report smoke test results for builds.)

* Summarize your results to help other testers at [[Sugar on a Stick/Getting Involved]].  Please help structure the test results pages. (Needed: a way to report smoke test results for builds.)
