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 [[ | 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.
