Smoke test checklist

A smoke test should be a quick review to identify if a user story is ready to proceed on to further testing. Ideally the developer who worked on the story, tester, UX and BA/Product owner will be present within the smoke test.

Process

• Review the acceptance criteria and compare to the outcome on the UI in the system.
• Compare the UX designs do they match?
• Test on all supported breakpoints (do not forget mobile).
• Check for consistency with style guide.
• Check if colour contrast is AA when it’s not obvious.
• Do links have hover styles and the focus works on keyboard?
