Smoke Test April 28, 2004 at 12:19 PM

My wife asked me the other day why is it called a "smoke test". I honestly didn't know. Here's what Jargon has to say about it:

  1. A rudimentary form of testing applied to electronic equipment following repair or reconfiguration, in which power is applied and the tester checks for sparks, smoke, or other dramatic signs of fundamental failure.
  2. By extension, the first run of a piece of software after construction or a critical change.

I have made a new forum available that will take the place of this posting. I hope that everyone will find the interface much easier to use for asking and answering questions.

http://www.realityinteractive.com/forum

You will need to register with the forum to use it. I was not able to automatically transfer over the users from this site.

There is no easy way to integrate the questions asked and answered here into the forum. For that I apologize.

I have locked out this message to prevent further postings.
