Softer Testing Vs Manual Testing
Manual Testing Techniques
Manual testing is the process in which the test cases are
performed manually. It requires a tester to play the role of an end-user, use
most of the software’s
features and ensure that they function as expected.
This process doesn’t necessarily require the support of scripts or tools.
We all know that automation
testing is more reliable and reduces testing time. But not all the applications
can be done by a click of a button. Human intuition cannot be replaced by
automation. It is best to combine both automated and manual testing. Manual
testing is something that has not changed for almost more than two decades and
in some cases, it is a better choice than automated testing. With changing
requirements and meeting deadlines, it is easier to change the test cases
accordingly.
When to Use Manual Testing?
Although manual testing is less accurate than automated
testing, it gives testers more flexibility in their operation.
If a tester wants to test something right away, a manual test will be very
easy to execute.
Manual tests are used to verify usability because this part of the testing process requires creativity and original thought.
Functional
Testing - functional testing checks the app’s functionalities without looking at the internal structure of the code, hence it is called black-box testing.
Integration testing - It is the
process of testing the interface between two software units or modules. It focuses on determining the correctness of the interface. The purpose of the
integration testing is to expose faults in the interaction between integrated
units. Once all the modules have been unit tested, integration testing is
performed.
This
testing is done to make sure that new code changes should not have side effects
on the existing functionalities. It ensures that the old code still works once
the latest code changes are done.
Compatibility
Testing - is a type of
Software testing to check
whether your software is capable of running on different hardware, operating
systems, applications, network environments, or Mobile devices. It is a type of Non-functional testing.
End-to-End
Testing – It is
a technique used to test whether the flow of an application right from start to the finish is behaving as expected. The purpose of performing end-to-end testing is
to identify system dependencies and to ensure that data integrity is
maintained between various system components and systems.
User Acceptance
Testing (UAT) - 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. UAT is done in the final phase of testing after functional,
integration and system testing are done.
