A subset of test cases that cover the most important functionality of a component or system are selected and run, to ascertain if the most crucial functions of a program work correctly.

Below are the flowcharts depecting few important smoke tests covered in an SAP BW testing projects before starting with actual system test:

  Hi,
  
  Very correct. At developers side we do Unit testing and in the testing side (QA) team we perfrom Smoke testing first and then System testing.
  
  Smoke testing is done at both places.
