How to write a smoke test case?

Question

Software testing

Can you please tell me how Normal test cases differ from Smoke and how they are eaten? For example, there is a mobile application and before testing the functionality, you need to write a smoke test case and conduct a smoke test. Google doesn't really say how it's done.
Thanks in advance for your help and understanding. (I am interested in testing, far from being competent in all matters :))

Answer 1

Normal - should cover all functionality. positive and negative scenarios.
Smoke - if "literally", then it should work and not burn out at the start.
This means a minimum set of checks for obvious defects in the software.
The object of testing (website, application) is launched, the most basic functionality works.
If we are talking about an online store website, then the scenario will be something like this:
1. The site opens
2. You can select a random product and add it to the cart
3. You can place and pay for an order
If we are talking about a mobile application, for example, messenger, then:
1. The application is installed and launched
2. You can log in
3. You can write a message to a random contact
