Smoke Testing
Fast validation that the system is fundamentally working.
Smoke validation ensures basic system functionality works-can users log in, do pages load, are critical services responding. The fast check that catches catastrophic failures immediately.
What this validation covers
Structured capability coverage for teams that need repeatable signal instead of brittle scripts and one-off audits.
Why teams need it
Sometimes deployments just don't work. The build succeeded, tests passed, but the system is down. Missing configuration, broken dependencies, environment issues. You need to know in seconds, not minutes.
How Zof approaches it
The Smoke Agent validates fundamental system health in seconds, catching catastrophic deployment failures before they impact users. Fast enough for every deployment, comprehensive enough to catch "the system is down" issues.
Failure modes it catches
Application failing to start
Critical services unreachable
Database connectivity failures
Configuration missing or incorrect
Dependency services unavailable
SSL/TLS certificate issues
