Manual Testing
Manual testing is a critical step in the software development process that ensures high-quality products. It involves executing tests manually to identify defects, errors, or bugs in the software.
You get to evaluate user experience, user interface, and functional aspects of the software. In today’s world, there is a wide range of software testing solutions available to help with manual testing. These solutions offer different levels of support, from simple test case management to complex test automation. But manual testing remains an important aspect of software development that cannot be replaced by automation alone.
Manual Testing is one of the most fundamental testing processes as it can find both visible and hidden defects of the software. The difference between expected output and output, given by the software, is defined as a defect. The developer fixed the defects and handed it to the tester for retesting.
Manual testing is mandatory for every newly developed software before automated testing. This testing requires great efforts and time, but it gives the surety of bug-free software. Manual Testing requires knowledge of manual testing techniques but not of any automated testing tool.
Manual testing is essential because one of the software testing fundamentals is “100% automation is not possible.”
Our Approach in Manual Testing
Detail Requirement Gathering
It involves collecting comprehensive information about the project requirements before testing begins. This step is crucial for understanding what needs to be tested, how it should be tested, and what criteria should be used to determine if the testing is successful. Here's a breakdown of what this step typically involves:
1) Review Document
2) Clarifying doubts
3) Identifying Test Scenarios
4) Identifying Acceptance Criteria
5) Identifying Risks and Dependencies
6) Collaboration with Business
Test plan Preparation
It is a critical phase that involves creating a comprehensive document outlining the approach, scope, resources, and schedule for testing a software application. This document serves as a roadmap for the testing team, guiding them through the testing process. Here's an overview of what this step typically involves:
1) Understanding the requirement
2) Defining test objectives
3) Defining testing techniques
4) Planning Testing Environment
Detail Test Case
In manual testing, a detailed test case is a document that outlines step-by-step instructions for executing a specific test scenario. It provides a systematic approach for testers to validate whether the software meets the specified requirements and functions correctly under various conditions. Here's what typically constitutes a detailed test case:
By providing detailed instructions and expectations for each test scenario, detailed test cases enable testers to systematically validate the software's functionality, identify defects or discrepancies, and ensure that the software meets the specified requirements.
