Smoke Tests

Smoke tests are limited to core functionality and serve as a pre-release final review. If smoke tests are failing, a release cannot proceed.

Fleet core:

Fleet version (Head to the "My account" page in the Fleet UI or run fleetctl version):

Web browser (e.g. Chrome 88.0.4324):

Prerequisites

1. fleetctl preview is set up and running the desired test version using --tag parameters.
2. Unless you are explicitly testing older browser versions, browser is up to date.
3. Certificate & flagfile are in place to create new host.
4. In your browser, clear local storage using devtools.
