Manual Software Testing

Manual testing is a kind of software testing in which test cases are run by hand instead of employing an automated tool. Test cases define what needs to be done to put a system through its paces. It specifies things like the activities that must be carried out in the system or the input data values that must be entered into the system, and the expected results throughout the test case’s execution. Manual Software testing requires no expertise in automated testing tools, only understanding of manual testing processes

The inspector manually executes all test cases from the standpoint of the end user. It checks to see whether the application is operating as described in the requirement specification. The Requirement Traceability Matrix [RTM] is a document that guarantees all test cases have been covered. It is created prior to the test execution process to guarantee that no test cases for the given requirement are overlooked. Test cases are created and executed in order to finish almost 100 percent of the software application. Their reports are likewise created manually.

Manual testing is one of the most essential evaluation methods because it can detect both apparent and hidden software defects. A defect is defined as the discrepancy between the intended output and the output provided by the software. If the tester discovers a flaw in the software, he communicates it to the developer, who subsequently repairs the flaws and returns the application to the tester for retesting.

Manual testing is required before automated testing for each and every newly produced product. Even though testing takes a significant amount of time and work, it ensures that the program is bug-free.

To summarize, the primary goal of manual testing is to:

Such testing ensures that the system is of high quality and that the client receives a bug-free product.

A Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is, at its core, a project management approach. It defines the various stages required to take a project from its conception to deployment and later maintenance.

SDLC’s major stages are as follows:

Pros:

Cons:
