funny, because its so true.....i have started to heard the term granularity around .... so sad
ha ha what is smoke testing, sounds like what JD does while smirting 
Have been doing some of both today actually - smoke testing is a quick run through a new release to see if it breaks immediately or whether it's worth running through the formal system test scripts. Ours broke immediately.
Triage is a quick assessment of bugs to agree that hey are bugs and what severeity they are. In case you were wondering.
yep know all about triage, used in medical terms and in pharmacovigilance

Or Vanman, while cleaning a perfectly well operating device.....
I hate "touch base". I normally inform the perpetrators of such an americanism that if they touch my base I will not be held responsible for my actions ...
Gets the point across...!

Thing is though, JD, for idiots like myself, who have never had the opportunity to grace the music industry, some of the jargon gets lost.

Aaaah.....It's a bamboozling term.
No, too many people would understand that. It's obfuscation (that'll be twenny guineas).
I fear this thread is in danger of losing its perspicacity.
Would that it had any. Perhaps we should take a more holistic approach.
hey we need an ideas shower to cut to chase and cascade and loop back the fact that its all just low hanging fruit, so to take advantage we need a stratagy staircase approach
Having just spent months and months on the periphery of the redevelopment of this site, I have had my eyes and ears opened to a whole new world of jargon. Showstoppers, smoke-testing and triage have been the order of the day.
