Manual Testing
In process of manual testing, tester performs all steps one by one and validates required functionality.
Manual tester validates whether app works as expected and raises bug if not.
To determine overall quality of application , user experience of application is must which is easily covered in terms of manual testing.
Benefits
- Attempts to find more bugs and makes application more effective (Example:based on testing / app knowledge tester can also validate tests other than test scenarios)
manual tester tests mostly from end users perspective by which application usability can be tested
(User experience is key thing which pulls customer again and again.Example:E-commerce applications)Cost effective
(Example: 1)Automation of certain application requires licensed tools which will affect low budget projects
2)If only small portion of application need to be tested)
Drawbacks
- Time consuming (Example:If application have been for a while and it is in release50 and if we want to do regression it is quite impossible to manually test all previously existing test cases)
- Monotonous (If tester is testing same application and scenarios over and over for prolonged time amy result in bug due to lack of focus)
- More testers needed for huge projects (Example: If developed application is huge and also has frequent releases which adds more test cases each time demands more manual testers and results in more costs as well, can be easily rectified by applying automation)
