Suggestions for smoke testing of security patches

Cross-posting from Sailpoint Community:

Howdy all!

I’m very new to the Sailpoint IdentityIQ space and have recently been tasked to apply a minor security patch. By way of validation, I would like to perform a basic “smoke test” to confirm the patching has been successful.

Please share your suggestions on what would make a good smoke test for IdentityIQ.

Thanks!
