Smoke test is a general name represents the most basic black box test. That
is, you test the desired features you want to test to make sure they work as
expected, but not covering other cases.

The rest of the test are generally handled by the SV&V team.

I used to think this term just used by a few companies, but then found
it defined in wikipedia!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_testing

So, it must be a legitimate term, right? (ha ha).

In WTP we like to have a smoke test before declaring a build, just to
make sure nothing really odd happened that would make it embarrassing to
announce to the world ... that the build is ready for further testing.
