I bet the QA team is just sitting back, munching on popcorn, waiting for the dev team to inevitably break something. Classic C) Smoke testing.

It's like a quick check to see if everything is working on the surface level. C) Smoke testing for sure.

I agree, Smoke testing is like the first line of defense before diving into deeper testing.

QA team always has to clean up after the dev team. Definitely C) Smoke testing.

I'm just picturing the dev team running around like a bunch of maniacs, slapping random buttons and hoping it all works. C) Smoke testing, for sure.

Nah, I'm going with B) Regression testing. They're probably making sure the new build didn't break anything that used to work.

Regression testing is definitely important to ensure the stability of the software.

Yeah, they're likely checking to see if any previous functionality was affected by the new build.

I think you're right, B) Regression testing makes sense in this context.

I don't know, man. 'Surface-level' makes me think it could be D) Blackbox testing. Maybe they're just checking the inputs and outputs without worrying about the internal workings.

I agree with you, Blackbox testing seems like the best fit based on the description.

I'm not sure, but I think Smoke testing is more about checking if the build is stable enough for further testing.

I think you might be right. Blackbox testing does focus on the inputs and outputs.

Hmm, I think it's got to be C) Smoke testing. Those surface-level tests sound like they're just checking the basic functionality, not digging into the nitty-gritty.
