End-to-End Evaluation vs Smoke Testing
Developers should use End-to-End Evaluation when building complex applications, such as web apps, mobile apps, or distributed systems, to ensure reliability and user satisfaction before deployment meets developers should use smoke testing after each build or deployment to catch show-stopping bugs before proceeding to more comprehensive testing phases like regression or integration testing. Here's our take.
End-to-End Evaluation
Developers should use End-to-End Evaluation when building complex applications, such as web apps, mobile apps, or distributed systems, to ensure reliability and user satisfaction before deployment
End-to-End Evaluation
Nice PickDevelopers should use End-to-End Evaluation when building complex applications, such as web apps, mobile apps, or distributed systems, to ensure reliability and user satisfaction before deployment
Pros
- +It is particularly important in scenarios involving multiple technologies (e
- +Related to: test-automation, quality-assurance
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Smoke Testing
Developers should use smoke testing after each build or deployment to catch show-stopping bugs before proceeding to more comprehensive testing phases like regression or integration testing
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to ensure new code changes don't break the application's basic operations, saving time and resources by filtering out unstable builds early
- +Related to: software-testing, regression-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use End-to-End Evaluation if: You want it is particularly important in scenarios involving multiple technologies (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Smoke Testing if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in continuous integration/continuous deployment (ci/cd) pipelines to ensure new code changes don't break the application's basic operations, saving time and resources by filtering out unstable builds early over what End-to-End Evaluation offers.
