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.

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.

Test name	Step instructions	Expected result	pass/fail
$Name	{what a tester should do}	{what a tester should see when they do that}	pass/fail
