This term typically refers to a testing methodology which validates critical or crucial functionality of software. Versions of AnchoreCTL post-5.6.0 include a smoke-tests option, which can be used to validate general functionality of your Anchore Enterprise.
We recommend using this mechanism to validate functionality after upgrades.
Tip: the test check-admin-credentials will look for an admin user in the admin account context as defined in your anchorectl.yaml
./anchorectl system smoke-tests run
⠇ Running smoke tests
