QUALITY ASSURANCE • TRUE CARE SYSTEM

Smoke Testing

Verify that critical platform workflows remain available after a build or deployment.

Protected-data and QA evidence notice

QA artifacts may contain workforce identity, Provider configuration, PHI, GPS, visit, payroll, billing, audit, or integration evidence. Public documentation and shared test evidence must use synthetic, demonstration, or properly redacted information. Never place production passwords, tokens, full SSNs, bank account numbers, or unnecessary PHI in screenshots, tickets, automated test output, or repositories.

Purpose

Smoke testing rapidly confirms that the application is usable after a build, deployment, configuration change, or emergency fix. It does not replace full regression testing.

Core Smoke Test

SequenceValidation
1Open the approved environment and confirm the build loads without a fatal error.
2Sign in with an authorized test account and verify the correct Provider and role.
3Open the Dashboard and confirm Provider-scoped counts load.
4Open affected modules and critical navigation routes.
5Complete one safe create or update operation in the target module.
6Verify audit or PHI access logging when required.
7Confirm Mobile EVV login and one approved test workflow when Mobile is affected.
8Verify exports, print, or integration status when affected.
9Sign out and confirm the session ends correctly.

Pass Criteria

  • No blank page, crash, routing failure, or blocking server error.
  • Authentication, Provider scope, and role navigation are correct.
  • Critical data can be read and saved without corruption.
  • No cross-Provider information is visible.
  • No unexpected duplicate record, visit, shift, alert, or submission is created.
