Manual Testing

Manual testing involves the execution of test cases by human testers without the use of automated tools or scripts. It is a systematic process where testers manually check the software application or system for defects, bugs, or any unexpected behavior. Manual testing is essential for exploring various scenarios that may not be covered by automated tests and for evaluating the user experience from a human perspective.

that drive performance

If your technology is draining resources rather than optimizing them, we can get you back on track. A professionally managed services provider can give you the decisive edge to:

Exploratory Testing

One of the primary methods within manual testing is exploratory testing, where testers navigate through the software application intuitively, probing various features and functionalities to uncover defects and anomalies that may not be apparent through scripted tests alone.

Ad Hoc Testing

Manual testers often perform ad hoc testing, which involves executing tests spontaneously without predefined test cases. This approach allows testers to simulate real-world usage scenarios and identify unexpected issues that may arise during normal operation.

User Experience Evaluation

Manual testing encompasses evaluating the user experience (UX) of the software from an end-user perspective. Testers assess factors such as usability, accessibility, and intuitiveness to ensure that the software meets user expectations and requirements.

Boundary Testing

Testers conduct boundary testing manually to validate the behavior of the software at the edges of input domains. By deliberately testing boundary conditions, such as minimum and maximum values, testers ensure the robustness and reliability of the software under extreme circumstances.

Error Guessing

Manual testers employ error guessing techniques to anticipate potential defects based on their experience and intuition. By leveraging their domain knowledge and understanding of common software pitfalls, testers can effectively pinpoint areas of the application that are susceptible to errors.

Regression Testing

Although regression testing can be automated, manual regression testing is still prevalent, especially in scenarios where automated tests are not feasible or cost-effective. Testers retest previously validated functionalities to ensure that recent changes or updates have not introduced regressions or unintended side effects.

Cross-platform Testing

Manual testing involves validating the software across different platforms, devices, and browsers to ensure compatibility and consistency. Testers manually execute test cases on various configurations to identify platform-specific issues and ensure a seamless user experience across diverse environments.

Accessibility Testing

Manual testers assess the accessibility of the software to users with disabilities, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and regulations. Testers navigate through the application using assistive technologies and evaluate features such as keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and alternative text descriptions.

Localization Testing

Manual testing includes verifying the localization of the software for different languages, cultures, and regions. Testers manually inspect translated content, check for linguistic errors, and assess cultural appropriateness to guarantee that the software resonates with international users.

Security Testing

While automated tools can assist in security testing, manual testing is essential for identifying complex security vulnerabilities and logical flaws that automated scanners may overlook. Testers simulate various attack scenarios, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting, to assess the resilience of the software against malicious intrusions.
