Manual Testing

Software Testing is the process of ensuring and validating the accuracy and quality of the product and its services which are put to test. It is done to validate if a product fulfills the specified product requirements, and expectations of the client. The goal of testing is to point out the bugs, errors or defects and assist developers to fix them.

Poor quality product will cost the company dearly, affects their reputation as well as decreases the business from the product. One can imagine the monetary losses in such an outcome. Of course, a poor product can compromise the security of user data which leads to inconsequential outcomes. Alternatively, a Good quality product will attract more business, improve their reputation and yield better margin and profits.

Manual testing is one of the best available, reliable and cheaper option to find real time user issues and detect bugs in a software application effectively. In manual software testing, a tester typically takes the role of an end user and tests each of the functionalities of the software to ensure each feature behaves to its definition. It is the most fundamental type of testing which can find both visible and hidden defects. Also, manual testing service will help us easily understand the difference between expected output and the current output.

While automated testing can save time and gives quick results, it is manual testing that helps us understand the problem. Manual testing works better in areas where automation cannot replicate the intuitiveness, overall comprehension, and iterative assessments that a person can bring to the process. Also, manual testing is most cost-effective option for small scale and newly developing companies which cannot spend a huge amount of money on automating their test process just yet. Incorporating a software testing plan that does both manual and automated testing, will address all the requirements along with retaining the human factor of empathetic testing for a better end-user experience.

Also, everyday hundreds of apps and products gets launched in app store, which needs a lot of testing to shape up before it is launched. While testing automation can speed up the process, manual testing is still important for its role in Quality Assurance (QA).

Let us understand the benefits of manual testing methodologies:

  • When it comes to user experience testing, automation will be directly out of scope because it misses the human factor.

  • Exploratory testing, mainly in the engineering sector and prototypes can be only done manually.

  • Just like a software script can have errors and bugs, an automated testing script also have high chances of bugs.

  • Automating few testing scenarios can be highly difficult or cost too much when compared to manual testing services.

  • Manual testing services always go beyond the whole pass/fail scenario. They help us understand where the problem is.

  • It is easy for a manual tester to easily reproduce customer-caught errors after the application gets deployed.

  • A manual testing tool also ensures that QA team acts on instinct and ensure they work on the issue elements on an immediate basis.

  • Automation might become expensive for smaller projects.

  • Sectors such as Banking, Finance services and Insurance still prefer manual testing services when compared to automated testing as these applications deal with highly confidential data.
