# Smoke Tests

It is imperative in any testing suite that we have Smoke Tests. In short, smoke
tests run quick end-to-end functional tests from GitLab QA and are
designed to run against the specified environment to ensure that basic
functionality is working.

Our suite consists of this basic functionality coverage:

- User standard authentication
- SSH Key creation and addition to a user
- Project simple creation
- Project creation with Auto-DevOps enabled
- Issue creation
- Issue user mentions
- Merge Request creation
- Snippet creation

Smoke tests have the `:smoke` RSpec metadata.

See [End-to-end Testing](end_to_end/index.md) for more details about
end-to-end tests.
