MANUAL TESTING
Manual Testing is a type of Software Testing where Testers manually execute test cases without using any automation tools.
Manual Testing is the most primitive of all testing types and helps find bugs in the software system.
Any new application must be manually tested before its testing can be automated. Manual Testing requires more effort, but is necessary to check automation feasibility.
Manual Testing does not require knowledge of any testing tool.
One of the Software Testing Fundamental is "100% Automation is not possible".
AUTOMATION TESTING
Automation Testing means using an automation tool to execute your test case suite.
The automation software can also enter test data into the System Under Test, compare expected and actual results and generate detailed test reports. Test Automation demands considerable investments of money and resources.
MANUAL VS AUTOMATION TESTING
Manual Testing vs Automation Testing
| Manual Testing | Automated Testing |
|---|---|
| Manual testing requires human intervention for test execution. | Automation Testing is use of tools to execute test cases |
| Manual testing will require skilled labor, long time & will imply high costs. | Automation Testing saves time, cost and manpower. Once recorded, it's easier to run an automated test suite |
| Any type of application can be tested manually, certain testing types like ad-hoc and monkey testing are more suited for manual execution. | Automated testing is recommended only for stable systems and is mostly used for Regression Testing |
| Manual testing can be become repetitive and boring. | The boring part of executing same test cases time and again, is handled by automation software in Automation Testing. |
