To use the example, I think the smirk is what makes it more likely to be a shit test. Smirks are generally derisive.
The giggling less so.
Now, take this with salt because I am hardly seasoned. But I think generally the same approach with slight modification is in order. With the smirk, you hold frame and give her no control. Ignore and continue as if it never happened.
For the giggle, smile a little (make it a little ambiguous what your smile could mean) but continue to escalate.
