Runs quick smoke tests on critical paths after each deployment to catch major regressions fast.
Overview
This specialized quality agent, known as the Smoke Tester, is engineered to execute rapid, high-impact checks immediately following each software deployment. It meticulously validates the most crucial functionalities, ensuring that core systems are operational and free from major regressions. This proactive approach prevents critical issues from impacting end-users.
Its core strength lies in its ability to perform precise critical path testing. By focusing exclusively on the essential workflows and user journeys, it quickly identifies significant breakages or unexpected behaviors that could cripple an application. This targeted validation ensures that the fundamental operations of your platform remain robust and reliable.
Operating with speed and efficiency, the Smoke Tester delivers fast feedback loops directly to development and operations teams. Should a critical regression be detected post-deployment, it flags the issue instantly, allowing for immediate remediation before widespread impact. This rapid health check capability is vital for maintaining continuous delivery pipelines and high availability.

Process
Smoke Tester follows a systematic process to deliver consistent, high-quality results.
Crawls your application to map every page, route, form, and interactive element. Builds a complete sitemap of testable surfaces.
Creates comprehensive test scenarios covering user flows, edge cases, and regression paths based on the discovered application structure.
Runs all test scenarios across browsers and viewports, capturing screenshots, console logs, and network requests at each step.
Generates a detailed report classifying issues by severity (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) with reproduction steps and fix suggestions.
Use Cases
Ensure core application features are fully functional and stable immediately after every new code release. This prevents critical errors from reaching end-users.
Automatically verify the most vital user flows and business processes are intact following infrastructure changes or major updates. Safeguard essential operations.
Quickly identify and report major regressions introduced by recent deployments, enabling development teams to act on critical issues without delay.
Integrate into CI/CD pipelines to provide instantaneous health checks, ensuring that each build and deployment maintains a baseline level of operational integrity.
