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.

Smoke Reliability

What this validation covers

Structured capability coverage for teams that need repeatable signal instead of brittle scripts and one-off audits.

System availability verification
Critical endpoint health checking
Basic authentication validation
Core service connectivity
Fundamental functionality verification

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

Business impact

Detect catastrophic failures in seconds

Enable immediate rollback decisions

Reduce mean time to detect by 95%

Protect users from broken deployments

Flexible pricing by maturity

Start with a focused validation program and expand to full enterprise orchestration as your reliability program grows.

01Verification Engine

What must be proven before this action can be trusted?

Zof combines deterministic tools, specialized verification systems, customer-defined checks, and approved AI models under one verification architecture, and selects the evidence each change requires.

DOMAINS

19 verification domains

From unit tests to stress, security, and compliance.

SELECTION

  • Change
  • graph
  • risk
  • policy

The right evidence, not every test every time.

SOURCES

Tools, systems, models

Deterministic first; AI reasoning where approved.
