Sniff Testing

What is Sniff Testing?
The objective of sniff testing is to check whether the major functionality of the application is working fine .A sniff document is created for each application and the scenarios in the document are run when a new environment is set up or a new build takes place.This testing is conducted just to take care if all the scenarios mentioned in the sniff document are working fine .If it passes then the QA team accepts the build and runs the full testing cycle.


What if Sniff Testing Fails?
If sniff fails,build is unaccepted and returned back.

Note:-The next byte will come on 15th feb 2008.Till then keep on testing.:-)

As per my understanding Sniff testing is just a kind of shake out, checking inter connectivity of applications or just checking if the environmenet can take load of full fledged testing and environment will not break while doing base scripts.
