Introduction & Overview
In this section, we will be understanding the introduction & overview of manual testing. Therefore, let’s begin.
Manual Testing refers to a type of Software Testing where Testers manually perform test cases without using any automation tools. It is the primary of all testing types and it helps to find bugs in the software system.
Manual Testing requires more effort but it is necessary to check automation feasibility.
Goals of Manual Testing
- Firstly, the key concept of manual testing is to make sure that the application is error-free.
- Secondly, designing test suites or cases occur during the testing phase and should have 100% test coverage.
- Lastly, it makes sure that defects undergo necessary rectification by developers and re-testing has been performed by testers on the fixed defects.
Types of Manual Testing:
The below-given diagram depicts Manual Testing Types. In fact, any type of software testing type can be executed both manually as well using an automation tool.
- Black Box Testing
- White Box Testing
- Unit Testing
- System Testing
- Integration Testing
- Acceptance Testing
How to perform Manual Testing
-
- First things first, read and understand the software project documentation. Also, study the Application Under Test (AUT) if available.
- Secondly, create draft test cases that cover all the requirements mentioned in the documentation.
- After that, review and baseline the test cases with Team Lead, Client
- Moreover, execute the test cases on the AUT
- Further, report faults.
- Above all, once bugs are fixed, again execute the failing test cases to verify they pass.
