Importance Of Manual Testing

Manual testing is the process of manually testing a software for defects. It requires a tester to play the role of an end user, and use most of all features of the application to ensure correct behavior. Though it seems to be a simple process, there is a lot of indepth study required to perform manual testing on a software and get successful results. A Manual Tester has to study every minute detail of a software very carefully. He needs to find out the expectations of an user from the software, understand the creation method of the software, plan his testing schedule, store and take down all the results from his tests.

Rapid delivery and frequent releases characterize today’s development environment. While Automation adds value with precision, repeatability, reusability and time saving, Manual Testing is still the inevitable aspect of any functional testing process. Manual Testing and Exploratory testing, test applications and find some of the most critical defects with instincts, logical reasoning, inferences, and fine nuances that only humans possess. Testing applications with end-users’ perspective significantly improves a products’ user experience, usability, and cost-efficiency.

  • Ad hoc testing – Testing which is executed without preparation and written test cases. During ad hoc testing, a QA specialist randomly tests functionality of the system; his aim is to be creative, “break” the system and discover flaws.
  • Exploratory testing – This testing technique is sometimes confused with ad hoc testing, but they’re actually different. During exploratory testing, a QA specialist tests a product like an explorer, relying on his personal experience. After getting the full picture of a product’s functionality, a tester designs test cases which he uses to further test the product. That’s how exploratory testing differs from ad hoc testing: in exploratory testing you rely on your personal experience and design test cases in the testing process. An ad hoc testing can be done by any person without preparation.
  • User interface testing – By executing user interface tests, a QA specialist validates the properties and states of interface elements. Also, the QA team ensures that design elements in the interface match elements in the final layout
