Table of Contents

Manual testing is a way of testing which is carried out by human testers in order to find defects without using any automated tools. A test plan document is prepared that performs as a guide to the testing process in order to have the complete test coverage.

The different types of manual testing are

  1. Acceptance testing
  2. White box testing
  3. Black box testing
  4. Unit testing
  5. System Testing
  6. Integration testing

Manual testing is done to recognize the bugs, issues, and also defects in the software application manually. It is considered a primitive technique of all testing types and it helps to find the critical bugs in the software application. A new product must be manually tested before its testing can be automated. Manual software testing needs more effort but necessary to check the automation feasibility. Manual testing will not require knowledge of any testing tool. The fundamentals of software testing says “100% Automation is not possible”. This makes manual testing imperative.

The goal of manual testing is to make sure that the application is error-free and it is working in conformance to the specified functional requirements. Test suites are designed in the testing phase and should have 100% coverage. It makes sure the reported test defects are properly fixed by the developers and re-testing will be performed by the testers on the fixed defects.

How to perform manual testing?

  1. Read and understand the software project documentation. Also study the Application under Test.
  2. Draft the Test cases which cover all the requirements mentioned in the documentation.
  3. Review and Baseline the test cases with Team lead and also client if he is available.
  4. Running the test cases on AUT.
  5.  Defect reporting & tracking
  6. Once if the bugs are fixed, once again executing the failing test cases to verify they pass.

We need manual testing for any application which comes into market, and it is unstable or having a bug, an issue where the users are using it. If these kind of  problems shouldn’t occur we have to perform testing to ensure stability and deliver the quality product to the client, because the application has to be bug free. If the test engineer will do the manual testing, he can test the application from an end-user perspective and also get the familiar of the application which helps them to write the correct test cases of the application and give the quick feedback.

Software Build Process:

  1. The requirement is collected and provided to two different teams- development and testing teams
  2. After getting the requirement, the architects design the software and the developers will start writing code.
  3. In the mean time, test engineer understands the requirement and prepares the test documents. Meanwhile, the developer will complete the code and store in the version control tool.
  4. After that code changes in the UI and the build is created.
  5. The build team takes the code and starts compilation, compresses the code with the help of a build tool. Once we got some output it goes into zip file, which is known as Build. Each build will have a unique code like B001, B002.
  6. Then this particular build is installed in the test server. Then the test engineer will access this test server with the help of Test URL and start testing the application.

  1. This document explains what is manual testing and why it is important to test the software manually before it can be tested via automation. This documents lists the different types of manual testing and the steps involved in manual testing. The last section of the document explains the software build process – the step by step process of building a software. The software building process involves many different steps and along each step there are different groups of people who perform different tasks to build a software. The various groups are – the requirement gatherers or the Business Analysts who talk to the client to gather requirement, they then pass on the information to the architects who design the software, the architects then pass the information to the developers who write the software and upload it to a repository from where the testers build the software giving it a version number and start testing the functionality of the software as per the documentation and test cases. If the testers find defects they report it to the developers who then fix the bug and the software is retested. This process continues till all functionality of the software is tested and are assigned a pass status.

  2. Manual Testing:
    Manualtesting is done by humans and without Automation.
    Manual testing Types:
    1 Aceptance testing
    2 White Box testing
    3 Black Box testing
    4 Integrion testing
    5 System testing
    6 User aceptance testing
    Manual testing is done to recognize the bugs , issues and diffects done by manually.
    – Read and understand the project requirement document.
    – Draft requirement with all cover the document.
    – review and base line the test cases with test lead and clint if he is available.
    -Running the test cases in AUT.
    -Defects reporting and tracking.
    -onace the bugs are fixed ,again faing testcases excute and varify if Pass or Fail.
    BUILD:
    -After gathering the recquirement to provide the two teams, Development and testing teams.
    -After getting requirement Architect design the Document and Developer develop the program.
    -In the mean time test engineer understand requirement and prepare the Test cases, developer complete the code and store in version control.
    -The build team takes the code and starts compilation, compresses the code with the help of a build tool. Once we got some output it goes into zip file.
    -Then this particular build is installed in the test server. Then the test engineer will access this test server with the help of Test URL and start testing the application.

  3. Manual Testing is performed by human testers, in order to find defects without using any automated tools.
    Test plan Document is used as a test guide in order to have the complete test coverage.
    types of manual Testing
    Acceptance testing
    White box testing
    Black box testing
    Unit testing
    System Testing
    Integration testing

    Manual Testing steps
    -Read and understand the Project document.
    -Create test case
    -Review and baseline the test case with all the requirements
    -Running the test cases on AUT.
    -Defect reporting & tracking
    -Once if the bugs are fixed, once again executing the failing test cases to verify they pass.

    100% Automation is not possible; one has to test the SW before automate the testing. that is why manual testing is imperative.
