    Manual testing is a type of software testing where test cases are executed manually without automated tools. It is used to find bugs and defects in a software application. The goal of manual testing is to ensure the application is error-free and works as specified. It involves designing test cases to achieve 100% test coverage and re-testing fixed defects. Common types of manual testing include black box, white box, unit, system and integration testing. While manual testing requires more effort, it is necessary to check for automation feasibility and critical bugs before automating the testing process.

    Manual Testing Tutorial: What is, Concepts,

    Types & Tool

    Manual Testing
    Manual Testing is a type of software testing in which test
    cases are executed manually by a tester without using any automated tools. The
    purpose of Manual Testing is to identify
    the bugs, issues, and defects in the software application. Manual software testing is
    the most primitive technique of all testing types and it helps to find critical bugs in
    the software application.
    Any new application must be manually tested before its testing can be automated.
    Manual Software Testing requires more effort but is necessary to check automation
    feasibility. Manual Testing concepts does not require knowledge of any testing
    tool. One of the Software Testing Fundamental is “100% Automation is not
    possible“. This makes Manual Testing imperative.

    In this Manual Testing tutorial for beginners, we cover all manual testing concepts
    and topics in detail.

    Goal of Manual Testing

    The key concept of manual testing is to ensure that the application is error free and it is working
    in conformance to the specified functional requirements.

    Test Suites or cases, are designed during the testing phase and should have 100%
    test coverage.
    It also makes sure that reported defects are fixed by developers and re-testing has
    been performed by testers on the fixed defects.

    Basically, this testing checks the quality of the system and delivers bug-free
    product to the customer.
    Types of Manual Testing:

    Manual Testing Concepts


    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


    1. Read and understand the software project documentation/guides. Also,
    study the Application Under Test (AUT) if available.
    2. Draft Test cases that cover all the requirements mentioned in the
    documentation.
    3. Review and baseline the test cases with Team Lead, Client (as applicable)
    4. Execute the test cases on the AUT
    5. Report bugs.
    6. Once bugs are fixed, again execute the failing test cases to verify they pass.

    Myths of Manual Testing


    Following are few common myths and facts related to testing:
    Myth: Anyone can do manual testing

    Fact: Testing requires many skill sets

    Myth: Testing ensures 100% Defect free product

    Fact: Testing attempts to find as many defects as possible. Identifying all possible
    defects is impossible.

    Myth: Automated testing is more powerful than manual testing

    Fact: 100% test automation cannot be done. Manual Software Testing is also
    essential.

    Myth: Testing is easy

    Fact: Testing can be extremely challenging. Testing an application for possible use
    cases with minimum test cases requires high analytical skills.

    Conclusion
    Manual testing is an activity where the tester needs to be very patient, creative &
    open minded.

    Manual testing is a vital part of user-friendly software development because


    humans are involved in testing software applications and end-users are also
    humans. They need to think and act with an End User perspective.
