> In Lessons Learned in Software Testing, Cem Kaner, James Bach, and Brett Pettichord provided the origin of the term: "The phrase smoke test comes from electronic hardware testing. You plug in a new board and turn on the power. If you see smoke coming from the board, turn off the power. You don't have to do any more testing."

As my EE professor used to say, the problem is that once the magic smoke gets released, it’s super difficult to put back in.

Yeah, in EE there is a joke that the devices run on smoke. Once it's released it won't run anymore :)

I also always liked the joke about "every diode can be a light emitting diode at least once"

Or a space heater. That's when the smoke doesn't come out but the device still does not work and is hot.
