I like the phrase! guessing it means 'something' is 
  transformed?
Does that mean the entire test suite?

Dave,

Smoke test is a phrase dealing with an immediate failure of a piece of 
electronics causing rising smoke when it is initially powered up. Akin to 
"Letting the Smoke out".

 

In this case is should be a very quick indication of failure or 
catastrophic failure of the build. It doesn't exhaustively test the system, just 
a quick indication of go/no go.
