Abstract
Smoke tests are good to quickly assess whether the system functions or not (they are usually performed before deployment as a swift sanity check). The main problem is that running tests manually isn’t a scalable tactic (you cannot perform fast regression tests after each change by relying on manual labor). This is the reason we need to seek a better alternative.
