The document discusses smoke testing, which are simple preliminary tests done after a software deployment to check for failures. It recommends conducting smoke tests that are fast, test key URLs and parameters, and validate status codes, response times, and that a response body is returned. The document then provides details on implementing concurrent smoke tests in PHP using a library that runs tests concurrently and collects results. It also outlines the server architecture used to route requests and deploy code, with smoke tests running before new code is switched to live.
