Today’s world of technology has completely dominated by machines and their behavior is controlled by software powering. As you all know, any software project has three vital aspects that are cost, time and quality. The software testing is broadly categorized into two main areas which are manual testing and automated testing.
While in manual testing, as name suggests the cases are executed manually by a human that is without any support from tools or scripts. But with automated testing, test cases are executed with assistance of tools, scripts and software. Both has its own advantages and disadvantages.
We will now look at Manual Testing in detail, a tester ensures that an application is working properly by following conditions written in test cases, this means that someone evaluates numerous components like design, functionality and performance by clicking through multiple elements of the application.
Let’s say if you want to test a mobile application under unpredictable conditions, you can use manual testing. In that case, the testers simulate the condition to check whether this will lead to crashing of the application or not, while automation testing will not help in this case.
GRhomubus consists of well qualified and trained professionals who adhere to the process and follow the standard testing life cycle to carry out all the testing activities.
So, what are the testing life cycles? There are six testing cycles that any testing method adhere to, they are:
Cycle 1 – Requirement Analysis: During this phase, feature requirements are collected in the SDLC (software development life cycle) process which are evaluated to identify testable aspects.
Cycle 2 – Test Planning: During this phase, the test strategy is outlined in a test plan document. This strategy includes tools needed, testing steps, and roles and responsibilities.
Cycle 3 – Test Case Development: During this phase, test cases are created. Each case defines test inputs, procedures, execution conditions, and anticipated results.
Cycle 4 – Test Execution: During this phase, features are tested in the deployed environment, using the established test cases.
Cycle 5 – Test Reporting: It is a document which contains a summary of all test activities and final test results of a testing project. Test report is an assessment of how well the Testing is performed.
Cycle 6 – Test Cycle Closure: Test Closure is a memo that is prepared prior to formally completing the testing process. It also gives a detailed analysis of the bugs removed and errors found.
When it comes to manual testing there are six types of testing that the businesses adopt according to the project, time and cost. Therefore, GRhombus provides value-added Manual Testing Services by understanding the domain.
GRhombus provides the following manual testing services
- Blackbox Testing: Black box testing is a technique of software testing which examines the functionality of software without peering into its internal structure or coding.
- Integration Testing: Also known as integration and testing (I&T), it is a type of software testing in which the different units, modules or components of a software application are tested as a combined entity.
- System Testing: a type of software testing that is performed on a complete integrated system to evaluate the compliance of the system with the corresponding requirements. In system testing, integration testing passed components are taken as input.
- User Acceptance Testing: is a type of testing performed by the end user or the client to verify/accept the software system before moving the software application to the production environment.
- Release or Post-Production Testing: It refers to deployment to LIVE/production environments. The objective is to verify the release on production/LIVE environments.
Though businesses are integrating automation testing for the projects, manual testing still holds the rope. It is one of the best available, reliable and cheaper option to find real time user issues and detect bugs in a software application effectively.
While testing automation can speed up the process, manual testing is still important for its role in Quality Assurance (QA). GRhombus utilizes functional testing with detailed test management plan that involves careful planning and execution. It also offers expertise in website manual testing and manual mobile testing tools
