Smoke Test Slang

Definitions

1. Informal talk for a quick high-level check that verifies something basically works after a change. In engineering slang, smoke tests are about fast confidence, not deep validation.

   In plain English: Casual jargon for a quick basic test that checks whether the main thing still works.

   Example: "They ran a little smoke test slang in the release channel, just enough to confirm sign-in and checkout still functioned before traffic ramped up."
