What is Manual Testing?

Manual Testing is a
process carried out to find
the defects. In this
method the tester plays
an important role as end
user and verify all features
of the application to
ensure that the behavior
of the application. The
Manual Testing is very
basic type of testing
which helps to find the
bugs in the application
under test. It is
preliminary testing, must
be carried out prior to
start automating the test
cases and also needs to
check the feasibility of
automation testing. The Test Plan is created & followed by the tester to
ensure that the comprehensiveness of testing while executing the test
cases manually without using automation testing tool.

It is not necessary to have knowledge of any testing tool for manual software
testing. As the Software testing fundamental always says that 100%
Automation is not possible so the Manual Testing is very important.

Goal of Manual Testing

The main Goal of Manual Testing is to make sure that the application under
test is defect free and software application is working as per the requirement
specification document.
This type includes the testing of the Software manually i.e. without using any
automated tool or any script. In this type, tester takes over the role of end
user and test the Software to identify any un-expected behavior or bug.
There are different stages for Manual Testing like Unit testing, Integration
testing, System testing and User Acceptance testing.
A test plan document is created by test lead which describes the detailed and
systematic approach to testing a software application. Basically the test plan
typically includes a complete understanding of what the ultimate workflow will
be. To ensure the completeness of testing (100% test coverage) test cases
or test scenarios are created. Manual Testing Concepts also includes
exploratory testing as testers explore the software to identify errors in it
After the testing is started the designed test cases or test scenarios will be
executed & any differences between actual & expected results are reported
as defects. Once the reported defects are fixed, the testers will retest the
defect to make sure that the defects are fixed. The main goal of Software
testing is to make software defect free & deliver good quality Product to
customer.

Difference Between Manual Testing and Automation

Testing
Manual testing will be used when
the test case only needs to runs
once or twice.

Automation testing will be used

when need to execute the set of
test cases tests repeatedly.

Manual testing will be very useful

while executing test cases first time
& may or may not be powerful to
catch the regression defects under
frequently changing requirements.

Automation testing will be very

useful to catch regressions in a
timely manner when the code is
frequently changes.

Manual testing is less reliable while

executing test cases every time.
Using manual software testing it
may not be perform test cases
execution with same precision.

Automation tests will help to perform

same operation precisely each time.

Simultaneously testing on different

machine with different OS platform
combination is not possible using
manual testing. To execute such
task separate testers are required.

Automation testing will be carried

out simultaneously on different
machine with different OS platform
combination.

To execute the test cases every

time tester required same amount of
time.

Once Automation test suites are

ready then less testers are required
to execute the test cases.

No programming can be done to

write sophisticated tests which
fetch hidden information.

Using Automation testing, Testers

can program complicated tests to
bring out of sight information.

Manual testing is slower than

automation. Running tests manually
can be very time consuming.

Automation runs test cases

significantly faster than human
resources.

Manual testing requires less cost

than automating it.

Initial cost to automate is more than

manual testing but can be used
repetitively.

It is preferable to execute UI test

cases using manual testing.

Sometimes cant automate the UI

test cases using automation testing.

To execute the Build Verification

Testing (BVT) is very mundane and
tiresome in Manual testing.

Automation testing is very useful for

automating the Build Verification
Testing (BVT) & it is not mundane
and tiresome.

Conclusion
In the testing software application the Manual Testing makes a vital role.
While doing manual testing activity the tester needs to be creative & patient.
Testers need to play a role same as end user & execute the all test cases as
per the end users point of view. In this article we have seen about the What
is manual testing?, Goal of manual testing, Difference between Manual Testing
& Automation testing. In next article we will see about what is Automation
testing?
